Razo
A big beach in Carballo, with many surf schools and camps and peaks all along the sand.
Razo is a long, very exposed beach at the start of the Costa da Morte that picks up almost every swell. Most people gather by the rocky outcrop in the middle, where rights peel off the rock, but there are good banks on both sides.
It's one of the hubs of Galician surfing, with schools and surf camps, and usually has waves even in summer.
