Praias

Un dos atractivos para aqueles que visitan Rianxo, sobre todo para os que viaxan en familia, son as praias, xa que son de augas tranquilas e sitas en espazos naturais.

A principal praia do Concello en canto a número de visitantes, servizos (servizo de salvamento, duchas, aseos, aparcadoiro, restaurantes, auga potable, etc.) é a praia de Tanxil, a máis próxima ao casco urbano.

Preto de Tanxil está a praia de Tronco, praia tranquila e pouco concorrida, sita aos pés dunha escarpada parede cuberta de vexetación.

Unha fermosa e tranquila praia nun entorno natural privilexiado, preto da desembocadura do río Ulla, é a praia das Cunchas, con servizo de salvamento, posto de bebidas, aparcadoiro, baños, etc.

Separada desta por unha franxa de terra, chamada a Punta do Castro, que alberga un antigo asentamento castrexo, está a praia do Porrón, unha das máis longas do Concello.

Non obstante, a praia posuidora deste privilexio é a praia da Torre, sita na parroquia de Taragoña, ao lado da desembocadura do río Té, e na que remata o Paseo Marítimo que vén desde Rianxo. Preto do lugar atópanse as ruínas medievais do Castelo da Lúa, próximas tamén a outra praia, a praia do Pazo, a cal conta con magníficas vistas á enseada de Rianxo.

Ademais, Rianxo conta con pequenos areais agochados, enfrascados en paraxes naturais e moi tranquilos, como as fermosas calas da desembocadura do Ulla, Abuín e Sartaxes, a praia de Quenxo, entre Tanxil e Punta Fincheira, a praia de Leiro, nas inmediacións do porto da parroquia de Leiro, e a praia do Porto, sita no porto da parroquia de Taragoña, que conta con fermosas vistas á ría de Arousa e á ría de Beluso.
