Arteixo has one beach club in Arteixo: La Duna on Barrañán beach. It's about 10 minutes west of A Coruña, on a wide stretch of Atlantic sand that draws surfers and families from across the province.
This isn't a Mediterranean beach club. Galicia's coast is cooler, wilder, and shaped by surf culture. La Duna has a chiringuito feel: relaxed crowd, simple food, cold drinks, and sea views without the price tags you'd find further south.
Barrañán beach sits at the southern edge of Arteixo's coastline, easy to reach by car with free parking on site. If you're building a trip around beach clubs in Spain, La Duna is a good reminder that the Atlantic coast has its own version of the experience.

If you're visiting the A Coruña area, it's worth the short drive. There's nothing else quite like it on this stretch of Galician coastline.
