The Beach Promenade

At the beach of Gorliz is a promenade that winds along the beach, stretching from the bus stop to the boats’ docking area of Plentzia. With a well-leveled surface and an ample sized width that fits separate lanes for pedestrians and bicycles, anyone, especially children and handicapped people, are able to enjoy a pleasurable stroll amid the ocean breeze safely and without hindrances.
