Expect a nudist beach year-round
Most visitors report the beach is predominantly nudist, though clothed swimmers are welcome and face no criticism.
Plan a cliff walk alongside your visit
The surrounding coastal path offers spectacular bay views and snorkeling opportunities, making it worth more than just a beach stop.
Wear water shoes for entry
The seabed is rocky and covered in seaweed, making barefoot wading difficult and uncomfortable.
Visit at high tide for swimming
At low tide, the rocky seabed and exposed rocks make swimming very difficult or impossible.
Park in Barrika town, not at beach
The beach parking lot holds about twenty cars and fills quickly; use the larger lot near Barrika town center instead.
