A beautiful walk along the promenade in both the day time and evening. There was nothing to dislike except for some cloudy weather. More

A truly spectacular beach. My wife and I have been to Rio, and it reminded us of both Ipanema and Copacabana, although slightly smaller. More

A really pretty and well kept beach, well used by all and sundry. The nightly promenade by half the population of San Sebastian is a sight to behold, especially on the weekend. More

I spent 2 days in San Sebatian and would have been fine with 2 weeks. The beach is great, i recommend walking along it in the morning before hiking up the mountains on either side.

However, despite the fact that it is beautiful, there are no amenities offered by the beach. There are no seats... More
