I visited this island. I enjoy it a lot. It's a beautifull little castle full of history. If you use a wheelchair you can access to it too.
If you have ever played Uncharted Games on Playstation you must visit it because this place is really really related with that game.
Visit it!

Built by the Romans around AD 98–117, this is the world's oldest functioning lighthouse.
Reviewed By Olimpia D - La Coruna, Spain
The oldest Roman lighthouse still working in the world, Tower of Hercules is definitely the most important tourist spot in a Coruña. Measuring 57 meters, we have a 365 degrees of a beautiful view from the Bay of A Coruña. You can pay 3€ per a regular ticket and if you contact than in advanced you can have a guided tour.

This was a military fort but now turned into a beautiful park with historic information posted everywhere.

Lovely parkland area on the headland at one end of La Coruna with spectacular views in all directions of the coast, city, Hercules Tower and Beaches. The area is well maintained with expansive grassy areas, trees and cultivated flower beds and with plenty of Seating, to sit and admire the views.
There are enormous canons from a byegone era with informative boards about their history and of the mount itself and other sights visible from this hilltop vantage point.
Excellent spot to while away some time, walk and explore.

Playa de Santa Cristina is an attractive beach with lovely palm lined Promenade walks great for walking the dog! Good parking, but on a good sunny day would become busy!!!
A small cove at the very end of the Promenade walk offered a small beach where dogs were allowed.
7. Plaza de Maria Pita

Large square surrounded by beautiful buildings and Maria Pita statue in the centre. Lots of cafes and restaurants around the square and also the tourist information office so a real hub of the city. Plenty of Seating around to sit and take in the atmosphere. There is a different vibe here at different times of the day. We saw it in the early morning when it was very peaceful and almost empty so were able to take in the grandeur of the buildings and then later in the day when it was full of people of all ages meeting and relaxing in the cafes and on the Seating creating a very vibrant vibe.
The square connects the old town to the newer area which includes the shops and is just a few paces off the sea front and marina and a short walk from the cruise terminal so very central and accessible and a good place to stop to break up a day of a sight seeing
8. Playa de Morazon

Reviewed By bernardo_fdezgom - La Coruna, Spain
Se trata de una pequeña playa pegada al puerto de Sada. Se accede desde la zona de Fontan, descendiendo por una pronunciada escalera. Es muy agradable, y normalmente es frecuentada por la gente de la zona.
Tiene el problema de que cuando sube la marea, la playa prácticamente desaparece.
9. Avenida de la Marina

This area is impressive to look at and combined with the walk along the sea front will leave you relaxed.
10. Museo Militare Regionale

4.5 based on 171 reviews
Reviewed By Michael M - Sittingbourne, United Kingdom
A lovely small museum, housed in a lovely building. Admission is free.
It shows military items across the ages and is well displayed over a couple of floors.
Some excellent models of the Battle of Corunna from the Napoleonic Wars. (NB the British Commander, Sir John Moore, who died heroically during the battle is buried in a nice small park just across the road from the museum - worth a visit)
No surprise as the museum is in Spain most of the labelling is in Spanish, with the occasional English translation so if you do not speak Spanish it would be worthwhile to take some kind of translating device.
If you have some spare time in La Coruna it is well worthwhile visiting this museum.
