Discover the wonderful beaches of San Sebastián
The four beaches of San Sebastián are spectacular at any time of the year, and each one has its own particular appeal. Next, from ILUNION San Sebastián we will tell you the most outstanding characteristics of each one of them, although we recommend that you do not leave Donostia without visiting them all. Let's go there!
La Concha Beach
In the Bay of La Concha is the homonymous beach, and is considered one of the best beaches in the world. In fact, the railing that separates it from the promenade is an emblem of this city.
Its environment is peculiar and beautiful at the same time, as it is marked by Mount Urgull, the city itself and the island of Santa Clara. In addition, its white, fine and soft sand, as well as its calm waters, are some of the reasons why it is considered the second best urban beach in the world.
Ondarreta Beach
This beach stands out for its familiar atmosphere because, although it is smaller than La Concha beach, it has more sand. This is because it is much less exposed to the tides.
It is located between the gardens of the Miramar Palace and Mount Igeldo, and it is usually played volleyball, soccer or shovel. But if it's windy and the sea is rough, the beach is invaded by bodyboarders and surfers.
Zurriola beach
Zurriola Beach is usually full of young people and surfers from all over the world, and it is located in the Gros neighborhood. It is delimited by the cubes of Kursaal and Monte Ulía, and thanks to its remodeling in 1994 it is more meters wide.
The Sagüés area is very close to Mount Ulía, and is the favorite of surfers because it is the place where the waves enter with more force. You can also walk along the Zurriola promenade, where there are numerous shops with everything you need to practice surfing.
Santa Clara Island Beach
Finally, Santa Clara Island Beach is the smallest, as it is continually at the mercy of the tides. However, it is a very charming beach, and it also has a bar with a terrace. But it only remains visible for a few hours a day, specifically at low tides, being submerged for the rest of the day.
For this reason, this beach can only be accessed by motorboat thanks to a service that leaves the port every half hour to the island jetty, as well as by canoe, kayak and any type of boat.
If you don't want to miss these beaches of San Sebastián and you need accommodation, at Hotel ILUNION San Sebastián you will enjoy the best services at the best price. For example, you will have free Wi-Fi, parking, restaurant, etc., and the best of all is that it is next to La Concha beach.
Now you know what to visit in San Sebastián, and also that you will find the best accommodation at ILUNION Hotels. Delight yourself with the incredible beaches of San Sebastián and spend an unforgettable vacation. We will wait for you!
