Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Barrika is an isolated beach of sand, pebbles and rock, enclosed beneath cliffs whose instability makes remaining on the dry area inadvisable. Its 600-metre length and 30-metre width form an extensive strip, with geological points of interest on the cliff and shore platform. Access is difficult on foot, down a long flight of steps, and the nearest road is the BI-2122. There is parking for more than 100 vehicles, as well as showers, foot-washing facilities and lifeguard service during the summer season.
