Spain Sakoneta beach
This beach is one of the most amazing in Spain to shoot flysch rocks.
Photography Tips
Come here at sunset or sunrise, and bring your rubber boots to keep dry and safe. Be prepared to walk 10 to 20 minutes before reaching the beach.
Travel Information
Come by car and park along the railway. Then cross the railway on foot and walk down the road towards the sea.
There are two options to get to the beach:
1) Continue straight down the road and pass through the farm. There are a number of dogs that you will be quite close to and they will bark a lot. They are on chains.
2) About 20m after you cross the railway there is a path heading left up the hill through a metal gate. Take this path and continue up through the trees. Go through a second gate and you emerge in a field, continue up and you will soon see great views of the coastline and see the farm below you to the right. You can see the beach at this point, just continue down the hill and it is easy to access. This route is more effort than walking down the road but you avoid the dogs.
