Famed locally for its stunning beach with steep cliffs but golden sands, the town of Bakio has recently undergone significant urban renewal with the construction of new blocks of flats.

Just like its neighbouring beach Mundaka, surfing is a very popular sport here at Bakio beach. At one end of the beach a small channel flows into the sea, and on the other end the river Estepona does the same. It has a long promenade that runs the length of the entire beach. This beach has been awarded the blue flag.

The town is well connected to the regional capital, Bilbao, with regular BizkaiBus services.
