Positive experience: The longest one in Bizkaia. It's a shame about the difficulty in parking.
Fantastic experience: I love this beach, the downside is that when it gets crowded, it takes an hour to park the car…..ah!!! And let's not forget the OTA……….tip, if it's very hot and it's noon, go somewhere else.
Positive experience: It's a very large and quite picturesque beach, there is a playground and a volleyball net. It's difficult to park.
Positive experience: The beach is fantastic, well connected by bus, different areas to be in the sun and shade, suitable for children, sports practice, nearby beach bars, parking (small), etc. The only thing that falls short are the services.
Fantastic experience: Very nice beaches, clean and with car parking nearby, highly recommended for going with friends and family.

Fantastic experience: I loved this beach, fine sand, the water is ideal, and dogs are allowed, something unusual in Malaga where there are only dog beaches full of stones despite having so much coastline and they can be counted on one hand. Congratulations to Euskadi, let's see if we learn from you here.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful sandy beach. I recommend swimming when there is no storm.
Fantastic experience: It has a promenade, waves, and fine sand. There are areas of the beach that have many stones at the entrance.
Fantastic experience: Fun waves, a river that goes to the sea, good sand and the lifeguards take care of you.
Fantastic experience: Fine, clean sand, with a lifeguard.
Fantastic experience: Sandy beach, very close to the hermitage of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. I recommend sitting in the center where the flags of the countries are, so that when you leave, you have the showers nearby. If you want to go eat, you have to cross the entire beach; there is a small bridge that crosses the river next to a children's park, and in front, there are several restaurants where you can eat well.

Fantastic experience: The beach is quite wide and beautiful, a lot of people walk here, guides do not propose visiting this town, but this place for me is more beautiful than Bermeo. The restaurants here made the more tasty food and had more friendly staff. You have to understand that this is a modern city without an old town. But it has a beautiful rocky coast and view to Gaztelugatxe.

Fantastic experience: Enorme y preciosa playa. Varios restaurantes, pizzeria, heladería, amplio parking, eso sí, en verano, de pago
Negative experience: Un desastre. Poco parking, zona azul, pocas máquinas de pago mal señalizado y poco chiringuito de playa. Zonas con rayas rojas no aparcar multa si o si pero no hay ninguna señal que te lo indique.
