- Faro de Fisterra (Cabo Fisterra Lighthouse) — The town’s signature spot: a working lighthouse on the rocky cape with brutal Atlantic views, a great sunset stand and the pilgrimage endpoint vibe that makes the walk there feel meaningful.
- Praia da Langosteira — A long, sandy beach right next to town where locals walk, fly kites and watch storms roll in; perfect for a cleansing stroll after the Camino or a relaxed afternoon picnic.
- Praia do Rostro — A smaller, raw cove on the cape’s northern side reached by footpaths; dramatic rock formations, quieter than Langosteira and surprisingly good for wild-swim believers when conditions allow.
- Puerto de Fisterra (the harbour) — A working fishing port with colourful boats, fish stalls and seafood restaurants; great for watching daily life, grabbing

- Puerto de Fisterra (the harbour) — A working fishing port with colourful boats, fish stalls and seafood restaurants; great for watching daily life, grabbing fresh catch, and photographing authentic coastal activity.

- Igrexa de Santa María das Areas — The town’s main church near the port: modest, atmospheric and tied into local rituals and pilgrim visits, worth popping in for a moment of quiet and a sea-facing perspective.
- Pilgrim Kilometre-Zero stone and ritual area — The well-known finishing point where many Camino walkers leave shells, stand in silence or perform the old ritual of burning a garment; visiting gives the place its full cultural weight, especially at sunset.
