Azkorri, also called Gorrondatxe, is a beach of dark sand in Getxo, near Berango, below cliffs and protected dunes. The main wave is a left at the western end beside the cliff, over a mix of rock, gravel and sand, with three barrel sections. A second, weaker left breaks on the beach. It is usually quiet, which makes it a good choice for surfers who like lefts.

Local tips

Watch for rocks in the shallows and on the bottom near the cliff. Even on good days it rarely gets crowded, unlike La Salvaje next door. The beach is known among geologists for its golden spike, an international marker of rock layers in the cliffs.

Getting there

Park on the clifftop and walk down the road to the beach, about five to ten minutes. There are showers, toilets and a picnic area, and part of the beach is naturist.
