There are an endless number of beaches along the 36 km of the Sanxenxo coast, which are both urban as well as those that are calmer and more unspoilt. Portonovo is the seafaring, tourist town that forms an important urban nucleus in Sanxenxo and has a fishing port and large fish market, from which many restaurants from around the municipality are supplied. The Skate festival in Portonovo, a very typical Galician fish that can be tasted in different ways, is a gastronomic festival that has been celebrated in the month of April for more than a decade.
