Environmental estimate

Conditions less favourable for jellyfish arrival

What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa de Lapatza, also called Lapatza Natxitua, is an isolated beach of pebbles and rock, spread before a mountain and cliff frontage. Its 140-metre length and 50-metre width form a stretch with low occupancy and strong surf, with vegetation in the surroundings. Its natural character is reinforced by the absence of immediate development and the possibility of scuba diving noted in the information. Access is easy on foot or by car from the BI-3238; cleaning service is available.
