Latest reviews on Donostia San Sebastian's beaches

Zurriola Beach
8 Dzung

This beach is ideal for both surfing and swimming, and it's an excellent spot for taking pictures.

Playa la Concha
6 Alex M

La Concha is a beach that I have visited many times and it is far from my expectations. The sand is far from white and the water is far from clear and warm. The area is cramped and there is no space to relax and contemplate. The facilities that are supposedly available are not present, with showers and footwash stations being non-existent. Benches and rentable chairs/umbrellas are nowhere to be found, let alone bars and restaurants. The lifeguards are not to be seen and the bathrooms are in a state of disrepair. Anything that is not listed is not within a block away. filled with pushy hustlers and obnoxious guests, making it an unpleasant experience. We will not be returning to La Concha anytime soon.

Ondarreta beach
6 Marie-Claude Bouchard

Truly extraordinary! It has everything you need for a perfect day at the shore: clean restrooms, lockers, showers, delicious food, chairs, and wonderful people. Plus, the view is simply stunning!

Playa de Malkorbe
8 Krystian Majewski

This beach in town is great! It has beautiful, fine gray pebbles that make it perfect for a relaxing day in the sun.

Playa de Itzurun
8 Maurice Lee

I wasn't expecting much from this beach, but the scenery and the gorgeous views really blew me away. Parking can be a bit tricky unless you're just there for a few quick snaps.
