 Yachting, canoeing and rowing

Vilagarcía yachting harbour is the most important in O Salnés and one of the most outstanding in Galicia. Its facilities have the guarantee of the EU Blue Flag, which rewards the quality of its services. Currently, it has 450 berths, with the possibility to increase its number to 800; it also has a nautical building with restaurant and other services and a leisure complex with bars, pubs and a cinema with seven screens

Arousa bay is a unique place for water sports during the whole year, although most activity takes place during the summer. Yachting is already part of the sea landscape, as well as the yachting courses for beginners, undertaken by the sport clubs of the area.

The marina is for pedestrian use only, although there is a keeper who allows the entry of vehicles for loading and unloading activities, for the yachtsmanship as well as for the café and restaurant placed at the end of the dock.

The facilities for yachting in Vilagarcía will be soon increased by the construction of a Centro de Alta Tecnificación de Vela (School for the Technical Improvement in Sailing) in the harbour, which will provide professional training to the best sportsmen and women in Galicia. As for the canoeing and rowing, the most important clubs are Liceo Casino and Club de Remo de Vilaxoán.
