Vilagarcía has always been -since the town was founded- deeply related to the sea; so, it is almost compulsory to visit the harbour and the promenade when you are in the city. From the Muelle de Pasaxeiros (passengers’ wharf) you can see the whole Muelle Comercial (trading port) and also, to the north, the yachting harbour, with its near five hundred berths, which make of this marina one of the biggest in Galicia. Back beyond, there are the Concha and Compostela beaches. The marina offices are in a striking building, made of wood and placed over the sea, with bar-restaurant, laundry, seamanship office and other services. In this area there are several recreational facilities: multiscreen cinema, snack bars, fast food restaurant, pubs, discos....

A seaside walk of two kilometres of length connects the yachting harbour with the fishing town of Carril. Halfway, the Visitors Centre (a building raised over the strand) will provide the tourist with any required information about the town and the district.
