There is no potable drinking water

Public water sources on the islands lack health guarantees. It is important that you carry water when visiting the islands since this is a windy territory with a lot of salt in the air, which facilitates dehydration under the sun. Water can be purchased in the catering services of the islands.


 

Public toilets

Public toilets are located both inside and outside the visitor centre.

Viewpoints

Although there are many places on the islands for admiring its landscape, only some of them are considered special due to their high scenic interest and location, and hence recommended for most visitors. In Ons, the Fedorentos viewpoint is the best known as it offers an impressive panorama toward the south onto the island of Onza, the Cíes Islands, and the nearest continental zone.

Although it is not signposted as a viewpoint, the Ons Lighthouse surroundings offer spectacular views on to the Rías of Pontevedra and Arousa (with the island of Salvora at its mouth).
