Negative experience: The beach is very beautiful, but I don't think it's worth going there for several reasons. There is no possibility of parking, even if you pay, because the blue zone has a limited duration of two hours and then you have to figure it out, the parking spots are almost exclusively for residents and although there is a public parking lot, it is so far from the beach that it is not worth it. The food/drinks are expensive, I suppose like in all beach places. The locals are usually friendly and helpful, although I have already encountered some undesirable people that definitely tip the balance in favor of going to another nearby beach, which are beautiful and without so many drawbacks.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, with many waves and easy to park, paying the OTA. In the same village. Family-friendly.

Positive experience: The beach is wonderful, as is the sea. But the parking situation on a Sunday is catastrophic. And going to eat at the beach is not an option - there's nothing available. In the town, for example, going to eat at 4 PM is also not an option. This is simply impossible for non-Spaniards and hard to understand with so many tourists. We are leaving...

Positive experience: Plage propre. Attention interdit aux chiens

Ángeles 3 years ago

Negative experience: Imposible pasar el día desde el 1 de mayo por el aparcamiento. Y los únicos "vigilantes" son los que multan en cuanto te pasas 5 minutos de la O.R.A. aunque hayas pagado los 9 euros del tiempo máximo (5 horas) La playa está llena de perros sueltos que no paran de ladrar, mean por todas partes y se te meten en la toalla. Vaya ayuntamiento

Juan De Diego 3 years ago

Positive experience: Anchura de arena incluso en marea alta. Muy frecuentada por surfistas, algunos en curso de iniciación. Duchas y servicios cercanos. Bonito paseo que arranca del lateral derecho. Como perros... parking de pago (temporada estival) además de concurrido. Debe ser difícil aparcar en julio o en agosto.

Fantastic experience: Una de esas playas con verdadero encanto de la costa vasca. Si estás de visita, no dudes en quedarte un buen rato y disfrutar de la calidez de su arena. El agua siempre te acogerá con su vaivén característico del Cantábrico. Unas veces grandilocuente y otras manso, manso, sobre todo cuando sopla el viento sur. Llama mucho la atención la separación en dos playas cuando la marea está alta y la unificación en una sola y larga cuando baja. Es en ese momento donde el espacio se triplica y se convierte en un lugar idílico para los más pequeños. Es el momento para tantos y tantos juegos, chapoteos y disfrute con los más pequeños de la casa. Es el momento también para larguísimos paseos con el agua por los tobillos, con el «¡Epa!» característico de los caminantes que se repite cada vez que uno se cruza con alguien a quien conoce. Pero sobre todo, os animaría a admirar el amanecer o el atardecer de la playa de Deba. En ambos casos, descubriréis el tono plateado del mar, salpicado de puntitos que en la cercanía serán SURFISTAS, a la espera de SU OLA y unos metros mar adentro, unas «chipironeras» bailando y pescando ese manjar con tinta negra. Si vienes hasta aquí, no dudes en ningún momento en darte una vuelta por los paseos junto al mar. ¡Y por supuesto no dudes en quedarte unos días para descubrir que no solo hay playa en Deba! Porque si hasta ahora te has dedicado a mirar donde acaba el mar, observa a tus espaldas: «¿Asombrado con tanto verde?» e

Fantastic experience: Playa con arena fina, y de turismo nacional,como de aquellos años de la película Manolito gafotas es tranquila y hay olas para quien quiera hacer surf

Salmén David Al Nemr 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Me ha gustado mucho, se respira buen aire limpio, lugar adecuado para correr, caminar, pasear en bici, la playa con su gran extención te da una vista al horizonte increíble. Hay baños públicos, agua para beber, aparte de lava pies para sacarte la arena. Tienen que ver los escapes de aire que están al final del paseo dónde chocan las olas.

Positive experience: Estos últimos años a mejorado mucho lo q es La playa.....La pena es ver un par d edificios en primera linea d playa como el Hotel-Restaurant y balneario ( un lugar d gran relieve hace muy poquito tiempo) y ahora totalmebre destrozado CERRADO q dà una imagen desastrosa al paseo d dicha Playa. Sensación d ruina , mediocridad y mala imagen para un pueblo pequeño y q vive del turismo..

Fantastic experience: Facil acceso, aparcamiento a pié de playa. Cuatro socorristas acotando continuamente con banderas, la zona de baño menos peligrosa para los bañistas y en todo momento pendientes de los surfistas. La playa tranquila y muy limpia

Virginia Woolf 2 years ago

Positive experience: Cuidado en esta playa. Estuve nadando con la marea subiendo, bandera amarilla, socorrista en su torre (muy lejos, no creo que pueda ver sin prismáticos) y dos socorristas en la playa. De repente arreciaron las olas y alguna corriente me había llevado muy afuera. Intenté volver por mis fuerzas, no pude, di señales y grité 'socorro' a los que nadaban cerca. Nadie lo oyó ni lo vio. Salí cuando casi no me quedaba respiración. Por suerte lo puedo contar. Más vale sólo entrar con alguien o de pie o no entrar.

Positive experience: Playa espaciosa, con servicio de socorristas, duchas y WC. Parking con OTA en verano, difícil para aparcar a partir de las 10 de la mañana. Importante conocer el horario de la pleamar y bajamar para disfrutar de largos paseos por la orilla durante la bajamar. Un bar a cada lado de la playa donde se pueden comer bocadillos, se puede reservar mesa. Situada en el propio pueblo de Deba, con variedad de bares y restaurantes.

Fantastic experience: Playa larga con marea baja que se convierte en dos playa al subir. Con una parte de playa familiar en la parte más cercana al pueblo y una más tranquila también llamada Larapi, detrás de las rocas que impiden volver con la marea aunque cuentan con unas escaleras hacia el paseo. También es una buena ubicación para el surf.

Fantastic experience: Bonita playa que baña el Cantábrico. Es muy amplia, con paseos y también numerosos locales de hostelería, aunque también se come bien y con buen ambiente en los locales del interior. Se pueden realizar diversas actividades acuáticas y también tiene una plataforma de abrasión marina de tipo flysch.

Fantastic experience: It's a very accessible beach. You can reach it by car right to the front. In winter, it's very calm. But it's a great place to relax while watching the sea or reading a good book under the sound of the waves. In summer, it's very lively and full of life. DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!! COME AND EXPERIENCE IT YOURSELF!!!!!!
