Eating Out
There are a number of restaurants, cafes and tapas bars in Panxon, a lot of these can be found along the beachfront and in the harbour area. Most serve typical Galician dishes, tapas, paellas and seafood. During lunchtime, many restaurants offer a menu of the day (Menu del Dia) and this is a light 3 course meal including a drink. The food will most likely be home made and very reasonably priced.
Shopping
In and around Panxon there are a number of places to pick up local produce from independent shops run by the locals from the area. Fruit and vegetables, fishmongers, butchers and bakeries can be found in the towns and villages in the area and shopping in these is a great way to support the local community and be sure to get the freshest produce.
There are two larger supermarkets on the outskirts of Panxon; Froiz and Mercadona. Both of which are well known supermarket brands and offer a wide range of products as well as cheese, meat and fish counters.
The Beaches
You are really spoilt for choice in terms of beaches in and around Panxon. The village itself boats a pretty, natural beach which extends for miles joining with Playa America beach and seaside town. This beach is lovely for walking or jogging along.
Along the southern coastline of Panxon are a number of small coves with fine sands and crystal clear waters. Some of these are not easy to get to but this means there are never too many people.
To the north of Panxon is Patos beach, a haven for surfers due to the waves and here there are surf schools offering lessons to all abilities as well as other water sports to enjoy.
