Saturraran is a 300 m beach of golden sand at the far western edge of Gipuzkoa, on the border with Bizkaia, between Mutriku and Ondarroa. It faces roughly north-north-west, and the official beach guide notes that waves arrive here with force. Two rock stacks stand on the beach; local legend says they are the lovers Satur and Aran. Surf guides say little about it, so treat it as a local beach break.

Local tips

Check the banks and the rocks around the stacks before paddling out, since we found no detailed surf guide for it. In summer the beach is busy with bathers, and part of it is a nudist area.

Getting there

From Mutriku take the GI-638 and turn right at the sign for the beach, where there is a large car park, a bar and a campsite nearby. Buses on the Lekeitio–Donostia line stop about five minutes' walk away.

Travel notes

Camping and vans
There is a small campsite next to the beach. Its website says it closed from 13 September 2026 and takes no bookings, so check before you go. Nearest campsite about 0.5 km away.
Facilities
There are toilets, showers, changing rooms, a beach bar with food, a big car park, and lifeguards from 11:00 to 19:00 in season.
Water quality
The Basque Government's 2026 rating is only sufficient, the lowest pass mark. The provincial beach page shows no Blue Flag, and we found no official note on run-off after rain.
