Malkorbe

Malkorbe is a golden sand beach in Getaria stretching roughly 420 meters along the coast with a width of about 75 meters facing the Cantabrian Sea. The fine sand and surrounding rock formations shape the character of this shoreline.

The beach has sheltered fishing activity for centuries, providing a natural harbor where boats could operate with relative safety. This long connection to the sea trade shaped its role within the local community.

Fishermen from the village work here regularly, treating the beach as their workspace where they maintain equipment and prepare for their daily work. This labor shapes how visitors experience the place throughout the day.

Parking is available within walking distance, and the beach has showers and restrooms for visitors. A water sports center on or near the beach offers equipment and lessons for those interested in ocean activities.

The beach sits within a natural amphitheater formed by coastal cliffs that shape water conditions in an unexpected way. These rock walls protect swimmers from strong currents that can occur elsewhere along the coast.
