Plentzia

Plentzia is an urban beach with golden sand stretching along the coast, offering direct access to Basque waters. The shoreline is lined with amenities including public facilities, showers, and numerous dining and shopping options nearby.

The area developed around fishing traditions that date back to medieval times, when local communities depended on the sea for their livelihood. This maritime heritage continues to shape the character of the place today.

The beach draws locals especially in summer when traditional Basque celebrations bring music, dancing, and regional food to the shoreline. These gatherings show how the community keeps its maritime traditions alive through seasonal events.

The beach is easy to reach and equipped with showers, restrooms, and rental services for visitors. Plan your visit around weather conditions, as summer offers the most pleasant swimming and sunbathing conditions.

When the tide goes out, the sand expands noticeably, creating extra space for water activities and beach games. This natural shift means different parts of the shoreline are revealed throughout the day.
