The beach of A Frouxeira covers about three kilometres on the Atlantic front and is exposed to strong waves and undercurrents. Its size and the comfort of its dunes in front of the sea winds give it a well-deserved reputation. Behind the sand expanse, the Valdoviño lagoon, also known as A Frouxeira, takes shelter in an angle. It penetrates into the interior for one and half kilometre, in a straight line, parallel to a local track. On the other side, witchgrass and rush abound. It is mostly narrow and shallow, but highly dynamical. In winter, the activity of the lagoon increases with the numerous colonies of water birds that visit the place.

FLORA: Marshy vegetation and colonised dunes.

FAUNA: Hibernating colonies of aquatic birds: Coots (Fulica atra), Mallard Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos), Gadwalls (Anas strepera), and plovers: Dunlins (Calidris alpina).
