Dirty, and in the morning the police arrive and fine you.
Great, I recommend it!
Very good spot, quiet at night, toilets next door! Some traffic, and you will not be alone even in the off-season.
Great location! Quiet, the sound of the waves is very pleasant, and you can barely hear the railway. You can pass under the barrier up to 2 meters. Public toilet and urinals available.
Great spot right by the sea.
Watch the height; we passed with our 2 m Trafic. Great surfing spot. Bring something to eat on the beach.
Extraordinary view, a great spot, permitted for overnight stays (which is rare) until June 1. I do not understand the negative comments. Everything went well for us. Plan to arrive early or after 9 p.m., when the beach café below empties.
Great spot! Maximum height 1.90 m. Very quiet apart from the sound of the waves.
Good place to spend the night. Quiet. Several surfers arrived in the morning.
Parking area near a surfing spot.
Spot with an ocean view; outside the season, it is possible to spend the night there.
In the end we didn't spend the night because the sign said overnight stays in cars used as accommodation were prohibited. Other people did stay overnight. We left because of that and because there is a wastewater treatment plant and the smell was unpleasant. A shame, because the sea views are beautiful and the bar also has good views.
Lovely spot, access limited to 1.90 m. It was very windy when we were there and there was nowhere to shelter from it. The restaurant serves breakfasts with a sea view, but there is a lot of traffic from 8 a.m. onward.
We stayed in a long car, not a van. On the morning starting from 7-8 am lots of people passing (runners, on a bike, with dogs). There is a nice cafe just nearby with breakfasts and coffee with a view
Exceptional little cove. The sunset is wonderful here. Limited to 1.90 m. We slept here without any problems.
After a charming trip through the Basque Country, we ended up on this discreet car park during a rainy and windy night. My wife dreamed of waking up facing the sea, and she was not disappointed. Perhaps a little more so when we realized that, out of season, the toilets are only available as urinals… perfect for a van, but we have reservations about motorhomes. Worth visiting.
Very good spot. Chez Nadyne beach bar is very pleasant for enjoying the seafront. Very quiet on May 8 (peaceful night), but lots of vans. Prohibited from June 1 to October 31 for habitable vehicles. Limited to 1.90 m.
Great place, magnificent beach, quickly full during the day. Toilets reserved for restaurant customers. Music from the restaurant. Spaces available from 11 p.m.
Nice spot, magnificent beach, no smell from the wastewater treatment plant, clean public toilets and sink, streetlights switched off at 11 p.m., quiet with a few vans. Restaurant open from 4 p.m.
Great parking! Very close to the beach and fairly level! Height barrier at 1.90 m.
Dogs are prohibited on the beach, but there were still three dogs belonging to local residents there. I didn't dare walk there with my dog because of the prohibition signs. The women looked at me very rudely. Anyway, the place is quite beautiful. There is a wastewater treatment plant next door, but I noticed hardly any smell. Many surfers were out and about :) Recommended for vehicles up to 1.90 m high.
Very good spot in winter! Flat, quiet, close to a magnificent beach, with sea views. There is a wastewater treatment plant, but no smell to report at this time of year.
Prohibited for converted vehicles from June 1 to October 31!
Daytime parking; a sign at the entrance prohibits parking overnight by municipal order. Construction work is currently underway.
