User reviews
"Laida beach is an absolute paradise! Although parking can be a challenge if you don't arrive early, it's worth it for the incredible views all year. I make a point of visiting on New Year's Day for the delicious pintxo. Laida Beach is always a special place in my heart, and it never fails to amaze me."

"A beach that is wide open at the mouth of a river with strong tides. Not the ideal spot for small children, who may be at risk of being swept away by the powerful currents."
