Overview

Windsurf
No kitesurfing

Rostro (Praia do Rostro) is near Fisterra (Finisterre) — the legendary "End of the World" and final point of the Camino de Santiago. Wild Atlantic beach, powerful NW swell. The Costa da Morte ("Coast of Death") earned its name from centuries of shipwrecks. Advanced — isolated, powerful waves, no rescue.
