Enjoy Gorliz Beach, ideal for families, children and water sports, with fine sand, dunes, and stunning views of the Cantabrian Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gorliz enjoys a microclimate, being the sunniest town in Bizkaia. With approximately 842 meters of extension, the beach of Gorliz is one of the most extensive beaches of Bizkaia. It also has the advantage of being protected by the bay in the shape of a shell that makes this beach one of the safest and most spectacular of the Basque coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curiosities and nature:<\/strong> The beach is surrounded by protected dunes and pine forests, offering a unique environment for walks and photography. In spring, migratory birds can be observed in the nearby marsh areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History and heritage:<\/strong> Close to the beach, remnants of ancient coastal settlements and old defensive bunkers can be found.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

On this beach you will find a wide range of water sports and, being so close to the centre of Gorliz, you will be able to go up to visit it and have a drink in its pleasant bars or shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sports and leisure:<\/strong> Besides standard water sports, the beach is ideal for kitesurfing and paddleboarding due to moderate waves. Picnic areas and trails connect the beach with Gorliz Lighthouse and Mount Ermua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family tips:<\/strong> Natural shade from pine trees allows for a comfortable day without umbrellas. The fine sand makes it safe and fun for children to play and build sandcastles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
