Positive experience: Bizkaiko hareatzarik luzeena eta arriskutsuena. Txiki gelditzen da hala ere egun eguzkitsuetan; aparkaleko ugari atondu dute baina hondartzatik leku hurbila lortzeko goiz heldu behar da.

Positive experience: I found the recovery spectacular. I don't think the issue with the dogs is good at all; their owners leave their waste everywhere. They run loose, and it's incredible how many there are. The signs are not respected.

Positive experience: Mi playa, todos tenemos una por cercanía o por ser la que siempre fuiste, esta es la mía....paseos preciosos, lástima las secuelas que deja una refinería tan cerca....

Fernando Díaz Miñón 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Es una playa muy grande por ello habría que habilitar una zona donde puedan ir los perros todo el año, igual la zona de la ría.

Sonia García 2 years ago

Positive experience: Sólo un pero no entiendo porque entre el puente y el final de la ría no dejan bañarse a los perros la mía lleva sufriendo todo el verano aunque haya personas q los lleven yo respeto pero creo q por lo menos ese pequeño hueco debería dejarnos lo a las mascotas gracias

Positive experience: Buenas vistas a pie de playa. Perfecta para pasear. Si vas descalzo las plantas de los pies se te van a poner rojas, la arena mancha ligeramente. Parking con acceso directo a la playa. Más espacios de aparcamiento a ambos lados de la carretera. Fuera de temporada te encontrarás con bastantes perros, si tienes uno es un buen lugar para que disfrute. Posibilidad de practicar surf. Zona de bares con terraza en primera línea de playa.

Fantastic experience: My lifelong beach. From childhood, adolescence... Forever. And of my ancestors who used to go there by bike to play soccer 70 years ago. It was an iron ore washing place for decades, which is why the sand at the top, where the tide doesn't reach, is red and hasn’t been cleaned like the rest, which has. Spacious, beautiful, and with all services, although it is rough and almost always has a red flag.

Fantastic experience: Very quiet beach...ideal for going with kids as small sandy pools are formed so that the little ones can stay in without needing to dig☺️

Positive experience: A popular beach, very crowded in summer, ideal for surfing, but somewhat dangerous due to its famous undertows and the mouth of the Barbadun River, numerous entertainment venues and restaurants.

Fantastic experience: Hay q tener cuidado en esta playa ya q 6 de cada 7 días tiene bandera roja.. Hay q hacer caso de las indicaciones de los socorristas.. Es una playa muy grande q une los barrios de La Arena y Pobeña en en municipio de Muskiz...en ambos lados hay restaurantes, bares, parques y paradas de autobuses.. Los aparcamientos en época veraniega suelen están abarrotados.. En la zona de La Arena, hay aparcamientos sólo para residentes, está indicado con sus correspondiente señalización , multan si o si

Fantastic experience: Es una playa muy grande y suele estar muy limpia. Hoy mismo aunque aún no estamos en temporada de playa estaban limpiando y reponiendo los desperfectos . Alrededor hay una gran zona verde donde la gente puede disfrutar de juegos incluso tomar el sol sin pisar la arena.Dispone de todos los servicios. Duchas en la arena, lavapiés, baños y duchas . Tiene 3 grandes aparcamientos que a veces son insuficientes y hay que usar el resto de plazas disponibles un poco más alejadas de los distintos accesos. La oferta en restauración es muy buena. Hay varios restaurantes alrededor. Maloka, Waitaki,La fabrica etc. Y si vas al final de la playa y cruzas el puente de madera llegas a Pobeña . Otro sitio con muchos bares y restaurantes. En resumen un bonito sitio para pasar un gran día de playa o monte. Encima de la playa está Punta Lucero . Lugar donde hubo un cuartel y aún se pueden ver varios búnker de la guerra con los cañones. Desde arriba se puede disfrutar de unas vistas fantásticas del Abra y hasta Castro.

Positive experience: Es una playa preciosa y muy bien cuidada con todo lo que se le puede pedir como servicios, baños, ducha, socorristas y vigilantes. Lo peor que tiene (esto creo que pasa en todas las playas)es el tema de los aparcamientos que a veces por muchas vueltas que des, no encuentras uno y tienes que aparcar de cualquier forma en la carretera o al final desistir y marcharte para casa.

Carmen Lamela Nieves 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Llevo surfeando en esta playa más de 30 años, y es como mi segundo hogar. El bañista debe de tener cuidado de donde se mete a partir de bandera naranja, porque por desgracia está playa genera corrientes intensas que pueden darte un buen susto o algo peor. De todos modos, sus casi 1000 metros de longitud, su servicio de limpieza de la arena durante todo el año, sus amplios aparcamientos y todos los servicios que ofrece actualmente, la hacen una de las mejores playas de Bizkaia.

Fantastic experience: Entre la Peña Lucero y el barrio de Pobeña, en el municipio de Zierbana está playa tiene escuela de surf,acceso para sillas de ruedas, baños públicos y todos los servicios. El agua es brava pero muy limpia. Además hay varios bares donde tomar pintxos y bebidas, Muy recomendable el Maloja, con menús del día, menús especiales, sartenekos, hamburguesas y bocateria, Desde el se pueden ver bellos atardeceres.

Positive experience: A very nice area to visit, it has several viewpoints and recreation areas. I went in October and it was already windy and cold. There are several bus lines that take you from the municipality of Muskiz. It is worth going.
