Karraspio, Golden sand beach in Mendexa, Spain
The Karraspio beach extends for 420 meters along the Basque Coast, featuring a substantial width of 160 meters of fine golden sand.
During the Middle Ages, the nearby San Nicolas Island served as an isolation point for people with leprosy, separating them from mainland populations.
The beach sits within the Basque Country region, where local fishing traditions and maritime activities remain central to the community's identity.
Visitors can access amenities including showers, restrooms, changing rooms, a lifeguard station, and parking facilities throughout the beach season.
During low tide, beachgoers can walk across a natural sand path to reach San Nicolas Island, which houses a population of wild rabbits and grazing goats.
