Parque Natural de las Dunas de Corrubedo Adventures

Located along the Atlantic coast of Galicia in the province of A Coruña, Parque Natural de las Dunas de Corrubedo encompasses a diverse coastal landscape dominated by the largest dune system in Galicia. The park covers approximately 1,460 hectares and includes the striking moving dunes, a natural dynamic phenomenon shaped by wind and tides. These dunes border several freshwater and saltwater lagoons, including As Lagoas de Carregal e Vixán, which serve as important habitats for numerous bird species, especially during migratory seasons. The park’s varied ecosystems host rare flora such as sea holly and marram grass, as well as fauna including otters, herons, gulls, and other coastal birds. Historically, this area was impacted by human activities such as fishing and small scale agriculture, yet its designation as a natural park in 1992 has ensured protection and sustainable visitor access. Key recreational opportunities include hiking on well-maintained trails that meander through dunes, forests, and along the coastline, birdwatching in the lagoons, and enjoying the natural beaches. Notable landmarks include the iconic corrugated sand dune system and the Faro de Corrubedo (Corrubedo Lighthouse), which offers panoramic views of the park and ocean. This park appeals to visitors seeking tranquil natural beauty, scenic photography, and immersive outdoor experiences in a relatively low-impact setting.
