Arrietara Beach

Arrietara Beach, also known as Playa Arrietara-Atxabiribil, is a popular beach located in Sopelana. It is known for its semi-urban coastline, golden sand, and varying width depending on the tide. The beach stretches to a length of 826 meters and its width ranges from 160 meters during low tide to 25 meters during high tide.

Arrietara Beach is a favorite destination for activities such as surfing and swimming, thanks to its relatively clear water and amazing waves.
