What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa de Aritzatxu is distinguished by its small scale: 75 metres long and 15 metres wide. The surface combines sand and gravel, while the usual conditions are recorded as strong, defining a compact coastal space of mixed texture in Bermeo, Vizcaya. The relationship between length and width conveys its shape without adding interpretations about the surroundings. The entry provides no access or service information, so the description ends with its dimensions, composition and documented maritime condition.
