Blessed by beautiful beaches and superb surf right in the heart of the city, San Sebastian is the perfect destination for any water lover

An incredible attraction of San Sebastián, are the beautiful beaches and world class surfing. In the centre of the city, right next to the Old Part, is the famous La Concha Bay viewed by many as one of the most beautiful city beaches in the world. Due to its enclosed location, the waters here are calm, shallow, and situated on a smooth, rock free sand. This makes it ideal for bathing or swimming out to 'La Isla Santa Clara' in the centre of the bay.
La Zurriola

San Sebastian's second most famous beach, La Zurriola, is a real surfer's paradise. Located just on the other side of the Urumea River, Zurriola is a 5 minute walk from the centre of the city located in the 'Barrio Gros'. This beach is popular amongst the youth and water sports enthusiasts. Here, at any given time, you may see upwards of 100 surfers with several games of beach volleyball and beach soccer going on simultaneously. While summer invites many beginner and learning surfers, winter can see waves of up to double over-head and during proper tide/sand conditions: epic waves!

| Surfing in San Sebastian, Spain. |
La Ondarreta, located on the other side of La Concha, near the upscale 'Barrio Antiguo', is perhaps the most relaxed of San Sebastian's beaches. It generally has less people than the other beaches, and is less frequented by the multitude of tourists that converge on San Sebastian annually. It is located near the famous "Peine de los Vientos" by the famous Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida.
