Carreirón Natural Park occupies the southern tip of A Illa de Arousa and is one of those spots that surprise you: pines right by the sea, quiet coves and a wetland where many birds rest and winter. A nature plan a short hop from the centre of the island.
What to see in Carreirón
- Trail through pine groves with views over the Ría de Arousa.
- Quiet coves and beaches for a swim without the crowds.
- Wetland and birdwatching (especially outside summer).
Carreirón by kayak
The kayak route along the park's coastline is a beautiful (and calm) way to see it from the water, suitable for beginners and families. Unlike Areoso, you don't need a special authorization here, so it is a more flexible plan.
How to combine it
Carreirón pairs well with a visit to Areoso Island or paddle surf in calm waters. A full weekend in A Illa de Arousa has room for it all.
