A small Asturian beach south of Luanco named for the polished glass that washed in from an old tip; reports differ on how much is left.
About Playa de Azkorri
A broad beach of sand and rock below the cliffs north of Getxo. The path down from the car park or bus stop is steep and the climb back is hard work. Low tide is essential: at high water mostly sand is left.
Sea glass at Playa de Azkorri
A good amount, including aqua, teal, lavender, black, red and seafoam. Search the rocky areas on the far right and check washed-up seaweed, which snags pieces.
Visiting Playa de Azkorri
- Getting there
- Steep path down from the car park or bus stop. Best at low tide. Nudist use and jellyfish are mentioned.
- Parking
- Car park above the beach.
- Safety
- Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
