Guide
Good to know
Go at low tide
The beach expands dramatically at low tide, offering over two kilometers of flat sand for long walks.
Plan for shallow water and kids
The beach has very shallow water that extends far out, making it suitable for families with small children.
Arrive early for parking
The lot fills by late morning on weekends with good weather, forcing visitors to pay for overflow lots nearby.
Bring cash for parking
Parking costs three to four euros per day, and at least one reviewer notes the restaurant requires cash payment.
Check estuary entrance first
The Comillas entrance near the estuary often has seaweed and odor; use the main entrance by the beach bar instead.
