A Ladeira is a south-facing beach next to Corrubedo village, in the shelter of the Corrubedo headland at the north end of the dune park. The headland blocks northerly wind, so it is the local refuge on stormy days. It only wakes up when the swell is big elsewhere: big autumn and winter swells wrap around the headland and arrive softened. The waves over sand are then gentle and easy to turn on, which suits beginners and intermediates. Local surf schools use it and rent out gear.

Local tips

Check it when the open beaches are too big: the north wind that blows them out is offshore here. Stick to the dune paths to protect the park.

Getting there

Park near Corrubedo village, where there is food. Then follow the paths and boardwalks through the dunes of the natural park.

Travel notes

How often it works
Fickle. It faces south, away from the usual swell, so it only wakes up when a big autumn or winter swell bends around the headland.
Crowd and vibe
Usually 10 to 20 people when it works. It fills up on stormy days with strong north wind, because it is the one sheltered option around. Local surf schools use it too.
