Negative experience: No hay estacionamiento porque es una reserva de biosfera! No vamos a violar la montaña para hacer parking y turismo masivo. hay servicio de bus muy bueno, economico y eficiente. Viene bien usar las piernas
Positive experience: Es un lugar precioso , una reserva natural increíble y una playa con la marea alta preciosa . Es una pena que no disponga de un parking en condiciones
Fantastic experience: Increíble! Poco sitio para aparcar pero es gratuito y a pie de playa ️
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with spectacular views. Although it lacks waves. Parking is hard to find.
Fantastic experience: Beach located in the heart of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, situated in Ibarrangelu, 1.5 km from Laga beach. Located in a wonderful environment, in front of Mundaka, Pedernales, and Sukarrieta. Ideal for children, you can practice canoeing, paddle surfing, and enjoy a perfect swim. There are public restrooms as well as three bars for snacks, meals, or having a drink at your leisure. It's worth it, just 45 minutes from Bilbao.

Negative experience: El lugar es bonito y amplio. Pero no se admiten perros en la playa siendo que son más natura ellos que el ser humano. Aparcamiento es como ganarte la lotería.. Decepcionado de este cirio
Fantastic experience: Preciosa cala de fácil acceso por una montaña. Es apta para ir con mascotas, lo único que hay bastante oleaje y es de piedras grandes. Pero el paisaje es inmejorable.
Fantastic experience: Muy bonito pero que pena que en verano no reciben con máscotas
Positive experience: Lugar perfecto para disfrutar de la naturaleza en familia o solo. Yo fui con mi perro y mi marido. Ambiente perfecto, nadie se mete con nafie por llevar perro y estuvimos estupendamente. Un poco escaso el sitio para aparcar pero lo pasamos genial. Imagino que en temporada de verano no se admitiran perros pero no lo se seguro.

Fantastic experience: A beach that caught our attention due to the peculiarity of its landscapes and its immense sea. We decided to take a bath and were surprised by the various currents coming from different sides. What I liked the most was the contrast of landscapes between sea and mountain: the green mountains, the blue sea, and the brown sand were all visible. Without a doubt, a contrast of beautiful colors.
Fantastic experience: My favorite beach; with restless sand, which varies each year due to the currents and the pulse of the estuary and sea. The tides and not the hours dictate how to enjoy it.
Positive experience: Beach in the estuary, the sand is good but swimming is dangerous due to the strong currents that occur during the rising and falling of the tide.
Fantastic experience: Laida, what a spectacular place! When you walk on its golden sand and gaze at those crystal-clear waters, you feel as if you are in a true coastal paradise. And best of all, it is surrounded by green hills that give it an indescribable touch of natural beauty. It is the perfect place to relax under the sun or take a peaceful stroll along the shore. If you are looking for a place that combines serenity with the beauty of the Basque coast, Laida beach is simply unparalleled.
Fantastic experience: I loved it, at first it only looks like beach and a very wild sea, but the advantage is that if you go early you get to experience the ponds that form and the amount of sand that you see at the beginning, which then alters to give way to the sea from which you have to escape if you leave your things on the rocks. You see little by little how the landscape changes, it's a spectacle.

Positive experience: Short and shallow beach, with fine sand and gentle waves coming in from both sides. The scenery is beautiful, with forests and mountains in front, meadows, small cottages, and, well, also some horrible urbanizations. A beach with a estuarine landscape and ocean waves. There is a kiosk or bar that is not very noticeable. Good for a coffee, a soft drink, or something quick to eat. Today, Thursday in September in the afternoon, there are mostly local people and some inland tourism. Calm atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Si vienes al País Vasco no te puedes perder esta playa . Una playa expectacular . Hay que ir temprano para encontrar aparcamiento. Tiene un camping al lado y dos chiringuitos de playa donde se come muy bien . En temporada se puede hacer Kayk,paddle surf,andar en barco de una playa a otra .. Dispone de diferentes actividades que puedes disfrutar con amigos ,familia ,pareja ,etcétera. Dispone de un paseo que llega a la playa de Laga .
Positive experience: As we ended our drive on the biscaye cost we stopped at this beach. This is a very nice beach, especially if you have small kids. In low tide, the beach is huge with different areas to swim, with no waves or very small waves on ocean side and fairly flat so after walking a 1000 feet will still be mid waist. There is a lot of parking options available and couple restaurants. You can rent kayak, paddle boards but no umbrellas or chair
Positive experience: Son como dos playas, a un lado te puedes bañar en la ría de Urdaibai y al otro lado en el Cantábrico, tiene un bar de pintxos que abre todo el año y un par de restaurantes, lo malo es que no hay mucho aparcamiento
Fantastic experience: Excelente playa. Disfruta de un buen plato en el restaurante Bikaine

Fantastic experience: Hermosa playa en la costa de Vizcaya, al final de la ría. Hay que tener precaución con las mareas, que hace que la playa se tremendamente enorme a solo unos pequeños espacios de arena. También porque ciertos bancos de arena te pueden engañar haciendo pie, pero hasta la orilla tener zonas donde no se hace pie. Zona de socorrista siempre pendiente. Varias zonas de restauración para comer
Fantastic experience: Una maravilla de playa, amplia, permite mantener perfectamente la distancia de seguridad. Preciosa, con vistas a Mundaka, a la isla Izaro. Cuando baja la marea se convierte en un arenal inmenso del que disfrutar paseando. Tiene varios restaurantes al lado donde poder comer.
Fantastic experience: Playa que varia mucho con la marea, con aparcamiento y restaurantes, tiene socorrista, muy limpia y cuidada. Una de las zonas es más hacia la ría, la otra con olas en el lado del mar. Suele haber viento, entonces siempre con protección solar. Genial para deportes como el surf y el windsurf.
Positive experience: Una playa espectacular! Grande, con arena fina, sin piedras, muy tranquila y con el agua excelente, clarita y muy limpia! La profundidad es muy muy poca así que es ideal para ir con niños. Hay un restaurante-bar y también hay opción de poder alquilar canoas o hacer alguna actividad acuática. Cuenta también con socorrista. Un acierto!
Fantastic experience: Me encanta. Playa perfecta para niños y adultos. Con zona de olas y zona sin olas (ría). Pondría un ducha más en la zona de olas cerca del puesto de socorrismo. La labor de los socorristas en esta playa es de 10.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful. Ideal place to rest, eat, and enjoy the ocean water. A marvel
Negative experience: One of the worst beaches I've been to... It has a strong current, the water is dirty, and the beach goes from being huge to being nothing, and it's very overwhelming to have people crowded around if you want some peace and space. I do not recommend it. However, it has beautiful views from above when the tide is low.
Fantastic experience: Beautifully clean, great for spending the day with kids. There are well-stocked bars with snacks at a good price, definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic experience: Espectacular playa con la mejor ola de izquierda para surfear
Positive experience: Una playa muy tranquila, ideal para ir con criaturas. Cuando la marea esta baja hay mucho sitio. Cuando sube es divertido recorrer la duna. Para aparcar hay que ir temprano porque el parking es pequeño, a las 10.00 empieza a no haber sitio. Ideal para hacer kayak, paddle surf y otros deportes nauticos.
Positive experience: Puedes disfrutar del baño en las olas,o en las ría. También tienes opción a participar en wind surf y canoas. Con marea baja puedes pasear por grandes zonas de arena hasta llegar al las olas. Pocos aparcamientos, en especial en verano es problemático.

Fantastic experience: Spectacular beach, and when the tide goes out, you can see the whole Urdambai bay.
Positive experience: Just seeing the landscapes from the road makes you love this place.
Positive experience: The beach is beautiful and very large. But even though there is almost no one at the end of September, you cannot enter with a well-behaved dog.
Fantastic experience: Don't miss visiting it

Positive experience: A nice wide open beach at the entrance to a tidal river. Excellent for small children.
Fantastic experience: Here now, it's majestic. Driving the bendy roads around the mist topped mountains to get here was also an awesome experience.
