Foz’s economy is primarily driven by tourism, with its beautiful beaches and rich cultural history drawing visitors from across Spain and beyond. The hospitality sector plays a significant role in the local economy, with numerous hotels, guesthouses, and restaurants catering to the influx of tourists, particularly during the summer months. Event tourism, including weddings, conferences, and festivals, is also a growing industry, as the town offers several scenic venues and facilities.
Fishing remains an important industry in Foz, as it has been for centuries. The town’s coastal location makes it a hub for seafood, particularly shellfish such as mussels, cockles, and clams. Many locals are involved in either commercial fishing or aquaculture, and these industries contribute to the local economy and culture.
Agriculture also plays a role in the economy, with local farms producing dairy, meat, and crops typical of Galicia. These local products are often featured in Foz’s markets and restaurants, giving visitors the chance to taste fresh, high-quality food sourced from the surrounding region.
