One of the best beaches

A very beautiful beach, one of the most beautiful in Spain, right in the city center. It's very accessible, wide, and has beautiful sand. I'd give it five out of five. However, it's completely packed, so good luck finding a spot to lay your towel. If you're with family, it's best to keep things light and stay for a short while. There are other beaches in the Basque Country that are spectacular and quieter, but for an hour or two, to have an ice cream or a pintxo, it's a great place to relax!

Fantastic city beach. We rented a cabana. Showers are available. There are pontoons with water slides just offshore.

Un lugar hermoso,que te hace soñar con los ojos abiertos. Un mar con temperatura templada, de pocas olas y una arena super fina.
