Positive experience: Mooi strandje in een prachtige baai, maar zoals vaak in Spanje: perros NO! ;-) Heb je een hond en zoek je verkoeling, zoek dan een poeltje tussen de kliffen iets hogerop, weg van het strand.

Positive experience: Es una playa urbana y está muy bien, está limpia tanto el agua como la arena. Pasan un tractor diariamente. Es ideal para bajar con los niños y los perros, para hacer deporte o pasear.

Fantastic experience: Nice fine sandy beach. Best place to spend weekend. Very nearby from Brussels - just an hour by train. Kids friendly beach as well. Water is very clean. On one side there is a cliff with several caves, which you can easily go to by swimming or by small boat. Summer time it’s full of crowd. Lot of nearby restaurants and bar available.

Fantastic experience: Delicious beach in Castro, plus you can take a walk along the coast of about 3 km and return to sunbathe. Various pools and lukewarm water.

Fantastic experience: Superbe plage avec sable et grotte sous marine a visiter en snorkeling

txime 3 years ago

Positive experience: Playa artificial grande. La fauna es muy bonita, snorkel imprescindible (peces,pulpo, estrellas de mar, patos marinos...) La bajada es suave por lo que los niños pueden jugar tranquilos. Cuavas para que los pequeños investiguen El único menos es que mamcha de blanco la piedra artificial triturada que ponen

Fantastic experience: A very large artificial beach that ensures you can enjoy the crowded summer Castro Urdiales. From there, a beautiful trail follows the cliffs.
