Description

Brazomar Beach is the urban beach of Castro Urdiales, a sheltered 200-metre stretch of sand at the foot of the historic centre and next to the Gothic ensemble. It is the most accessible beach in town, with direct views of Santa María church and the castle-lighthouse.

Despite its small size, Brazomar has a special charm due to its location between the seafront promenade and the harbour cliffs. The water is clean and the beach has full services in summer. It is perfect for a quick swim between visits to the old town or after a meal at the harbour restaurants.

For those seeking more space, Ostende beach is a 10-minute walk westward, with more room and a sports area.
