Playa Nudista Ondarroa

Saturraran is a beach of sand and stones at the western end of the Gipuzkoa coast, in Mutriku, right on the border with Ondarroa in Bizkaia. It is about 300 m long and unusually wide at roughly 90 m, set between the mouth of the Mijoa stream and Saturraran point, and two large rock stacks stand on the sand; local legend makes them a pair of lovers named Satur and Aran. Waves break with real force and it is often windy, so it is popular with bodyboarders. The Basque tourism board lists a nudist area among the beach's services, which makes Saturraran one of the few Basque beaches where nude use is acknowledged officially; the Spanish Naturist Federation also lists it. The rest of the beach is used by clothed families from the surrounding towns, so expect a mixed crowd. Services are good for a Basque beach: lifeguards, toilets, showers and changing rooms, a picnic area and a large car park, with a campsite nearby.
