Negative experience: la playa no tiene ningún encanto solo se ve la zona del puerto y nada más, tiene puesto de socorro y tiene duchas. No tienen aparcamiento tenéis que buscarlos la vida por por los alrededores en aparcamientos de la zona blanca si los encontráis porque aquí se paga la OTA todos los días del año. Los baños públicos son todos de botón verde y no puedes estar más de quince minutos y luego pulsas uno azul para salir la verdad es que al que fui yo estaba un poquito sucio..
Fantastic experience: Está muy bien,lo único que todo en cuesta,por lo demás bien,baños,chiringuito,puesto con helados y bebidas frías,inconveniente que para personas mayores lo veo un poco difícil si tienen poca movilidad, ,tienen dos aparcamientos para aparcar minusvalidos .
Fantastic experience: La playa está cerca del metro de bidezabal, de camino tienes tienditas para coger bebida fría, helados o lo que sea, ya que en verano en la caseta de los helados son excesivamente caros, tiene aparcamiento sin ser de pago al lado pero siempre está lleno. Se nota cuidada y limpia. Un lujo de sitio.
Positive experience: The sand at the beach is fine and pleasant (and clean). The sea is quite calm. However, the accessible swimming area is small because there are many rocks in the water, making access to the water a bit complicated. Showers, restrooms, and a drinking fountain are located away from the beach. Accessible by metro (about a 10-minute walk).
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, long with some stones (depends on where you are located) which makes it tranquil and family-friendly. There are several bars nearby and a lovely promenade. The metro access is relatively close if you want to use transport from Bilbao.

Positive experience: Me gusta mucho esta zona, pero había demasiadas cacas de perros en la playa
Fantastic experience: Qué suerte tienen en Getxo de contar con un lugar así. El parque que está en el acceso es muy majo. Ideal para que correteen las mascotas y los niños. Un buen número de bares con terrazas. Para mi el mejor es el del fondo (¡Vaya, ahora no recuerdo su nombre!)
Positive experience: Muy buena para pasear con los perros
Positive experience: Coffe and dogs!!!!
Positive experience: Espectaculares vistas... Playa regular... Más que nada por la calidad del agua debido a la cercanía del puerto

Fantastic experience: After the walk through Aixerrota, strolling along Arrigunaga beach and sitting on the sand in a January that feels like April, it was a luxury.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach with a bit of stones inside the water and a lot of waves.

Fantastic experience: Sehr entspannter chiringuito mit Aussicht auf Windmühle
Fantastic experience: Me gusta mucho esta playa. Tiene un chiringuito que se está muy a gustito
Negative experience: La playa no me gustó nada porque la marea estaba baja y para entrar hay lisas de piedras. La arena es gruesa y hace daño. Estaba sucia con restos de comida, colillas de cigarros. Si es verdad que nos fuimos antes de que subiera la marea ya que el agua estaba muy turbia y con algas, una vez que suba la marea seguro que las piedras se quedan lejos y solo tocas arena, pero no me quede a comprobarlo. Tiene una zona de duchas buena y un chiringuito.
Positive experience: El sitio es muy agradable. El chiringuito, los bares y la zona. Tal vez lo peor es la calidad de la arena o que hay piedras en la orilla. Pero el resto de servicios de la playa está muy bien

Positive experience: Very good. The lifeguards are hardly seen, not even in pictures. They barely leave the booth. It's scary to see the kids on the breakwater with no one to control them.
Positive experience: Beautiful landscape, clean beach... But... It has rocks and you can't safely swim if the sea is rough. Always be cautious. There are lifeguards. This beach has some skate parks.
Positive experience: Klein maar prima strand. Strandwacht is om 20 uur weg, daarna liopt strand snel leeg. Apart uitzicht met links industrie. Lijkt op IJmuiden....
Positive experience: Cuando la marea está baja hay demasiada toca y verdin. NO hay más que una ducha para toda la playa, hace un par de años había mas Los pobres socorristas no tienen donde guarecerse del sol
Positive experience: La playa está bien,tiene dentro de ella un chiringuito,baños ,socorristas, está muy cerca del metro, pero la pega que le veo es que tiene muchas piedras en zonas de la playa,también está muy sucia el agua éstos días,el agua está muy brava,por lo demás merece la pena ir

Positive experience: Buena playa, paseo, surf y despues tomar algo en los bares.
Fantastic experience: Lugar fantástico, se mezcla playa, skate, surf, etc. En Algorta, metro a 300 metros Bidezabal, vistas al Abra o entrada al puerto de Bilbao, y a la derecha el acantilado de Punta Galea con su fuerte de vigía y el molino de viento de Aixerota.
Positive experience: Playa tranquila y con poca gente. Amplia con marea baja pero más estrecha al subir la marea. Amplias vistas del estuario de la ría del Nervión. Bonita vista del molino de Aixerrota, los molinos de viento del súper puerto, y del mar Cantábrico. Suele haber mucha corriente marítima y grandes olas que hacen las delicias de los surfistas más experimentados. Txiringuito en la playa para bebidas, patatas fritas y helados pero no para bocatas ni menús . Saliendo de la playa por su cuesta empinada hay una pista de skate y más arriba un gran parque verde de uso público. Junto al parque bajo los arquillos de los soportales, hay unos cuantos bares y cafeterías de pintxos, raciones y bocadillos. Subiendo un poquito más hay una tienda supermercado regentado por orientales, con pan, embutidos, bebidas frías y artículos de primera necesidad. Se llega bien a esta playa desde la estación de metro Ibaizabal.
Positive experience: Es una playa urbana algo sucia. Con buenas maneras es apropiada para la práctica del surf
Positive experience: Spiaggia ampia e protetta. Attrezzata con docce. C'è un bar con tavolini sulla spiaggia e altri due locali che servano anche cibo sopra il giardino da cui si accede alla spiaggia. Non adatta ai surfisti perché protetta

Fantastic experience: Exemplary residential area, quiet and very beautiful. With a cliff and privileged views....
Fantastic experience: Magnificent views and an open beach to the sea with an ideal promenade to contemplate the entire Abra harbor up to Punta Galea.
Positive experience: An abandoned beach with no one around. There are no thieves or pickpockets, so it was nice to play in the water, and the local atmosphere is very pleasant. However, it seems that the neighborhood still lacks tolerance towards Eastern Asians. Everyone just stares ㅠㅠ.
Positive experience: Very good
Fantastic experience: Very quiet beach with a large shore. What memories......
Positive experience: Beautiful beach with a bit of stones inside the water and a lot of waves.

Fantastic experience: Incredible beach, wonderful landscapes
Positive experience: Great beach just a bus ride away from Bilbao City. Would recommend a visit. We had great tapas in a local bar, mixing with the locals.
Fantastic experience: A very quiet beach with a great atmosphere. Perfect for an afternoon of sunshine and some good beers.
Positive experience: Away from the city centre, its a small beach to enjoy the sun. The water is clean. The sand is gray. This beach is more like a family place.
Fantastic experience: This is the best beache where i ever was! Still fantastic!!!
Fantastic experience: Really good place to visit. Fantastic views. Beautiful beaches. Great walks
Fantastic experience: The best sunsets in the Bilbao Megalopolis..?!
Positive experience: Nice, but windy with a cool breeze mid April.
Positive experience: Nice beach close to Bilbao downtown, it's about 35 min by metro getting off at Bidezabal stop. Also easy to get there by car and bus. At the beach you have public toilets (out of service in winter usually) and Chiringuito, which will serve basic cocktails, beer and snacks. The sea itself is not the best of Biscay and expect some rocks close to the shore, but it's enough to refresh in a sunny warm day. Views are really nice due to its cliff like appearance.
Positive experience: Quiet on a Tuesday in mid-may, apart from the diggers and tonka-style trucks moving the sand back across the beach. This shows the hard work the local authorities will take to make sure the beach is in tip-top condition and ready for the full season, and was interesting to watch on a quiet Tuesday. A lovely spot, facing the Bay of Biscay and the Bilbao ports, with cliffs linig the right hand side.
Fantastic experience: Great beach bar! Wide beach, 10mins from the subway.
