A DIY tour of Cathedral Beach

Cathedrals Beach is located in the northern Spanish town of Ribadeo and has been named one of the world's top ten beaches! The rocks, which are more than 500 million years old, have been sculpted by sea breezes and waves to form a spectacular row of natural stone arches, each shaped like a cathedral's pointed arch. 🌊When the tide is high, the rocky shore is majestic, and when the tide is low, you can take off your shoes and walk through the tall stone gates, experiencing the magical power of nature in reality! 🕘 [Opening hours]: Open all day 💴 [Ticket price]: Free ⛺ [Things to do]: 1. Low-tide hiking adventure: During low tide, you can walk barefoot through sea-eroded arches, stone pillars, and dome-shaped caves to experience the "cathedral nave" landscape formed by slate erosion. Explore the approximately 1.5 km-long sandy corridor and observe the geological wonders of water-eroded fissures, sinkholes, and rock corridors. 2. Nature photography: The flying buttress structure and spiral rock formations of the cliffs are visually striking under the light and shadow. It is recommended to shoot at sunrise or sunset to capture the interaction between light and rock. 3. Observation deck with panoramic views: Enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the waves crashing against the cliffs from the high observation deck. 🚌 [Transportation]: 🚗 Self-driving: Take Highway N-634 (A Coruña-Santander) and turn toward the coast on the section between San Miguel de Reinante and Rinlo. There is free parking next to the entrance. 👉 [Itinerary]: Can be customized according to personal arrangements. 🧡 [Pre-trip preparation]: It is recommended to book in advance and wear comfortable, non-slip shoes and clothing.
