Isuntza Beach, Lekeitio

This little village, located halfway between Bilbao and San Sebastian, is home to a very lovely beach. At low tide, a sandy road is discovered that leads to the ever-intriguing San Nicolás Island, revealing the enchantment of this beautiful portion of the coast.

Explore the island by walking over the stony footpath - just make careful to get back before the tide comes in again! The environment of Isunza Beach is shaped by the mouth of the Lea River, which opens out into the sea here, adding to the already beautiful backdrop.

Staying in Isuntza Beach allows you to get a unique peek into Basque culture, as well as experience its great gastronomy and gothic architecture – there's even a peak to climb for views over the beach and across to the island.
