Guide
Good to know
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 16 visitors · 2017–2026
Shallow water at low tide
When the tide is low, shallow flats extend out where children's water barely reaches their knees.
Take bus 1 or 2 instead
Buses cost 1.30 euros, paid by credit card on board, and board at the front.
Water is very cold
Expect cold Cantabrian waters year-round, though visitors still find them refreshing.
Arrive by 9am for parking
The lot fills by late morning, especially in summer, though early arrivals can find spots even in August.
Watch the tide carefully
Tides rise and fall considerably throughout the day, so keep belongings away from the shoreline.
