The town of Ares is situated on the shore of a beautiful inlet, surrounded by beaches that stretch for almost three kilometers of coastline with calm waters.

The most well-known beaches in Ares are A Rampa, O Cruceiro/A Xunqueira, Redes, Seselle, O Raso, Sabadelle, Río Sandeu, and Chanteiro. There are also some very pretty coves like Estacas and Centeás, now with steps, and many other secluded coves that are difficult to access.
