Frequently asked questions

Is there a lifeguard at Bornal?

Not recorded. Bornal has no lifeguard in the MITECO registry: expect to swim unsupervised, though Vilanova de Arousa council may add cover in high summer without it reaching the registry. The nearest beach with a recorded lifeguard service is As Sinas (Vilanova de Arousa), under 1 km away in a straight line.

How do you get to Bornal?

MITECO records that you get to Bornal easily on foot and by car, and there is parking.

Is Bornal a good beach for children?

Bornal has no children's area on record, but the registry describes calm water. Before swimming at Bornal, check the flag and the day's sea state.

Does Bornal have a Blue Flag?

No. Bornal is not listed with a Blue Flag in the MITECO data. The nearest Blue Flag beach is Camaxe (A Illa de Arousa), 4 km away in a straight line. Without a flag, Bornal can be just as good: the label measures services and water quality, not looks.
