At its heart is the river Oka, born on mountain Oiz and which flows out into an estuary at Mundaka, creating some spectacular wetlands that teem with life. We recommend that you come at different times of day to see them at both high and low tide.

Laida Beach is located in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve and belongs to Bizkaia's town of Ibarrangelu.

The almost-one-kilometre-long beach of fine golden sand is the longest beach in the Mundaka Estuary. It offers the chance to practice varied activities such as canoeing or sailing, occupying surfing the most remarkable place since the famed Mundaka wave is to be found in front of the breaks on the shore of Laida Beach. Surfers all over the world come to surf in Mundaka.

Laida is well equipped. It has lifeguards, beach keepers, car park by the beach, showers, public toilets, changing rooms, bike parks and hotel and catering trade services in its surroundings.

Another distinctive feature of this Bizkaia's beach is its shallow waters that are ideal for children. Besides, there is a beautiful dune in the middle of the beach from which we can admire the lovely scenery of Izaro Island.

The beach has been honoured with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 business and environmental management certifications, consolidating the quality of this excellent landscape.
