The Ares Council has strengthened the surveillance, rescue, and lifesaving service at Chanteiro beach during the summer of 2026, thanks to a subsidy of 7,500 euros from the Xunta de Galicia.

The financial contribution, from the Consellería de Presidencia, Xustiza e Deportes (Regional Ministry of Presidency, Justice, and Sports), partially funded the service, which included two daily lifeguards from July 1 to August 31, 2026. This initiative aims to enhance the safety of beachgoers.
The total municipal expenditure for this service amounted to 18,143.96 euros, according to invoices paid by the Council. The subsidy was granted under the Order of January 13, 2026, which establishes the regulatory bases for subsidies to local entities in Galicia for the provision of these services in natural aquatic spaces and outdoor aquatic facilities.
