Sopelana Beach

We always make a stop on our way to Morocco. The beach is just a few meters away with a spacious parking area. The view is lovely and it's conveniently located near running trails.

Laga Beach

This location is quite nice, but the locals seem to have an unfriendly attitude towards tourists, which is a shame.

Aritzatxu Beach
10 Z R

This is a really cool hidden gem. Although it may not have a typical beach setting, it's still worth checking out because it's quite interesting. It's mostly frequented by locals, but it has recently been improved with some intriguing paths. The fact that it's located next to a cemetery adds an eerie and unique touch. Additionally, there's a spacious park nearby that's perfect for enjoying a picnic or taking a leisurely walk with your dog. Not many tourists visit this part of Bermeo, as they usually focus on the harbor, pier, and the numerous bars and restaurants in that area. However, there's a fantastic little bar called Aritzatxu on this tiny beach. If you're up for a biking challenge, you can ride to a famous filming location from Game of Thrones called The Wall. It takes about an hour to bike to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, where The Wall is situated. As you can imagine, it's an absolutely breathtaking sight. Don't worry, there's also a restaurant and bar nearby where you can enjoy a couple of beers, some rotisserie chicken, or some ribs before getting back on your bike. Overall, it's a fantastic way to explore the Basque Country and discover some stunning places.
