Despite being an inland beach, the Bay of Biscay, which has no direct access to the sea, is a few meters away and slides under the cliffs. It consists of white sand and salt water, is about 40 meters long, and there is hardly any sand left during low tide. It also records a phenomenon called drainage when the tide starts. It is listed as a Natural Monument. Of course, it does not have any service and it is not easy to reach because it is surrounded by meadows at higher altitudes. The nearest town is Naves and is reached via a farm road.

Charco Azul in El Hierro is one of the most spectacular bathing areas in the smallest of the Canary Islands. Preserved under a majestic basaltic arch, the place is a compendium of the many shapes left by the lava that eventually led to this corner. In it you can not only take pleasant baths in its turquoise waters, but also protect yourself from the ocean with a rocket. In addition, it is noted for the white foam of the surf and its surround sound. Definitely, a mystical and serene scene that looks like it was taken from a fairy tale.

It is a very characteristic element of Mutriku in Guipúzcoa, very close to the port. These are two natural Olympic-sized pools that fill up thanks to the tides. When the tide rises, its waters are replenished, and when it falls, a wall prevents water loss. Therefore, it is a paradise for swimming enthusiasts and those who want to enjoy the beach as well as enjoy a good swim. They are open and free.
