Fantastic experience: Perfect for families with little ones, no waves and the slope is gentle. Additionally, unlike in France, there is water to rinse off! Even incredible for me, a homeless person, there are very nice and clean showers under the lifeguard station, contribution €1 and lockers for rent €3 to store non-essential belongings. They've got it all figured out!

Positive experience: Toujours eu des doutes sur les plages de ce côté de la frontière à cause de cette grande barre d'immeubles blancs visible depuis la France... agréable surprise au final, grande plage très propre, avec un parking très pratique mais payant à proximité, douches, laves pieds, snacks, location de transat et parasols, caillebotis pour accéder au bord de mer et éviter de marcher sur le sable brûlant...à 500 mètres sur la gauche vers le phare se trouvent de magnifiques petites criques cependant difficiles d'accès (idéalement il faut s'y rendre en paddle ou bateau ou kayak).

Fantastic experience: A beach of about 700m with a large parking lot, the last beach of the Cantabrian Sea and probably one of the beaches with the calmest waters. Highly recommended for swimming or for beginners in open water swimming. Be careful, it gets dark quickly as it is on the slopes of Jaizkibel, the views towards Iparralde are incredible!

Fantastic experience: Magnificent beach featuring sublime sunsets. Very vast, made of very fine sand and above all very clean. A bit rough in autumn, probably a great surfing spot.
Negative experience: A girl didn't let us into the parking lot because she says my van exceeds 5 meters when I've always entered and no one has said anything to me since it occupies a spot. It's not such a big van, moreover, it's for travelers, not a camper. On top of that, it's paid, and they don't let you in. If you have camper vans, forget about getting in. Other than that, it was great.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place
Positive experience: Beautiful beach with fine sand. I have been told that the water is cold even in winter and that it gets too crowded. But it's lovely.

Fantastic experience: This is a beautiful, clean beach. On Halloween 2023 the weather here is gorgeous, and the beach is nearly empty. This beach is very different from its French neighbor in Hendaye. It is very gentle making it a perfect beach for young kids and older folks. It's great for swimming. The beach is large enough to hold crowds during the summer; note that there are several highrise apartment buildings right across the street.
Fantastic experience: A gem. A beautiful place, spectacular views, and bars with very good snacks. The homemade ice cream from Bar-heladeria KAIA is delicious.
