We love Laredo. Discovered this town just by luck back in 2021 during Covid-19 times. It was very…read moreempty, despite shops and restaurants being open. But even then we've liked it a lot already. Came back in 2023 and now this year to stay a few nights. Got an apartement just across the street from the beach, so access was very easy. There are lots of access points all along the wonderful Promenade. Also some showers along the way. The beach is very long and also pretty wide. And its taken care of very well, it's very clean and the sand is fine and smooth. Life guards on duty everywhere as well. Around the town center in the east the beach is the most busy. But even then, since it's so wide, it didn't feel overly crowded. The water is - for the North - pretty warm and the drop isn't rough, you can walk in and out very easy. It's also nice to just walk along the beach, many are doing that I've seen. It's a fully public beach. There aren't any Hotels or resorts blocking the area and no big rentals or restaurants taking away the space. I really like that. On the west side it gets more and more quiet, but equally pretty. One section in the west is also reserved for pets. It's a wonderful stretch of sand. We enjoyed coming here daily, taking a dip in the water and for a walk. Laredo has it all: Great beach, nice Promenade, lovely old town, great shops and restaurants. Surely we'll be back.
