Akatx islet
Look for Akatx as part of the Gaztelugatxe coastal panorama: this steep offshore rock is a landscape feature to observe from the mainland, rather than a walking destination.

The largely bare rock adds a useful contrast to neighbouring Gaztelugatxe, where a bridge and stairway make the landform accessible on foot. Akatx’s isolated shape helps explain the protected character of this stretch of coast, and its seabird breeding habitat gives the offshore landscape value beyond the photograph.
What to look for
Akatx rises as a steep, sparsely vegetated rock offshore.
The islet forms part of the protected coastal setting beside Gaztelugatxe.
Useful to know
Include Akatx in mainland coastal viewing rather than planning a landing.
Do not follow the Gaztelugatxe bridge expecting it to continue to Akatx.
