118 Barrio Mioño, 39709, Castro-Urdiales
Been here?
Small parking lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, with water views from some spaces. It can be quiet at night, but recent reports mention thefts, fines for putting out chairs and tables, and occasional loud groups. Access is narrow, turning is difficult for vehicles over 6.50 m, and weekends are very busy.

We were fined for putting out chairs and tables, as were several others. Be careful!
I only read the reviews after arriving in the middle of the night. I was a little worried, but ultimately slept well. In the morning I went down to the other parking area closer to the beach. The upper parking area was dirty, but good for parking and sleeping. Uneven ground, but fine with a van. Great view! The sound of the sea was wonderful for sleeping.
We had to flee in the middle of the night: a group of young people arrived with music blasting and taunted us. A shame, because this had been a good place.
What a day! The police came and fined several people for having their chairs outside. To top it all off, someone smashed our window and stole our phones and wallet. We were told there have been many thefts in the area.
There are thefts in the area. Someone smashed our window and robbed us, as well as two other vans. This happened in broad daylight while we had left the van and were bathing on the beach less than 100 metres away.
Narrow and very busy access in summer, which made manoeuvring the van extremely difficult. We could not spend the night for that reason. Very beautiful views.
A very beautiful place to spend the night. It is small but ideal and highly recommended! We went in April and three caravans stayed overnight; it was great.
Very good seaside spot, quiet. At night you only hear the waves breaking. We were alone! Some fishermen come in the morning, but it is still peaceful and relaxing. 100% recommended.
We stopped there for lunch. Beautiful views, though slightly uneven. To get there, there are sections where only one car can fit, and we had to manoeuvre to let others pass.
Wonderful and quiet. We parked twenty metres further down, slightly uneven but sheltered from the wind and completely alone.
Quiet place to spend a night.
A good place to stay for a night. :)
Dirty and very inconvenient entrance.
Visited this sleeping spot for the fourth year in a row. It is a quiet place in the off-season. One of the beach bars is open until midnight for drinks and snacks.
Great place; it was a shame to leave. The only drawback was Spaniards from cars urinating in the bushes—or not even the bushes, but beside the campers. Watch out for Portuguese man-of-war jellyfish during high tide.
Quiet and natural place for a one-night stay. Enjoy the sea view. No services.
Just a few places for bigger Campers. Stunning views and a bautiful Beach. Great spot for Kids to play in shallow water. The bakery in town makes delicious empanadas, worth a try. We spent two days in a row, no problems whatsoever. Busy on weekends make sure to come early.
Pretty place, with lovely views, but the surrounding dirt and rats at night made us leave.
The site has direct sea views and you can see the surfers. A negative aspect is the dirt and mice. As mentioned in other reviews, the bald man in the dark green Peugeot with a Navarra number plate appeared. We saw him get out of the car stealthily in the dark and approach the motorhomes and campers. Finally, another person and I approached him and invited him to leave.
Magnificent view! However, you should arrive fairly early because it gets very busy. Apart from that, the setting was superb.
Beautiful spot with a sea view for spending the night! Dog owners beware: contrary to the information online, the beach there is only accessible to dogs outside the season. However, we fear that overnight stays will not be allowed there for much longer. Unfortunately, many people dump their rubbish in nature.
Beautiful views. But take the other reviews into account: a man arrived in a green car with a Navarra number plate and walked around peering into the windows and underneath the caravans. He left when another vehicle arrived and illuminated the area. Those who see him should turn on their lights to warn the others and have them do the same. Let’s see if we can discourage him from loitering.
Dreamlike, plenty of spaces with a direct sea view. We felt very safe. The beach is a few minutes’ walk away.
Great place. Quiet, beautiful view. Some activity from locals who want to look at the dock or enjoy the view. Be careful: you really need to arrive early and be lucky, as there are few spaces.
Small parking area with a direct view of the ocean, right at the end of the harbour. Small restaurant next door. Beware of very large vehicles; we are 7 m and managed with a little room to spare. Do not arrive too late if you want a space. There were some people around at night when we stayed, but no problems.
This weekend we saw a man for two days with a green Peugeot 406 bearing a Navarra number plate. He behaved very strangely, moving among the vans and caravans at night. I do not know what his intention was, but it did not seem good. Be very careful.
Good place to spend the night, but there was a strange man constantly looking at all the vans and pretending to talk on his phone. He drives a dark green Peugeot and parks beside the construction fence. The van opposite shouted at him because he kept peering inside.
