Worth it?
Pick Zurriola for waves and a lively crowd rather than a quiet swim. It is the surfing beach of San Sebastián, with consistent breaks, four surf schools and plenty of beach volleyball, so it suits people who want a lesson or like watching surfers. One creator's best idea costs almost nothing: buy tortilla to go and eat it on the seawall promenade at sunset.
Before you go
- Take takeaway tortilla to the seawall promenade for sunset, as one creator recommends.
- Beginners can choose between four surf schools on the beach.
- The Kursaal Auditorium overlooks the sand and makes an easy meeting point.
- For pintxos later, Ganbara is also on the San Sebastián list.
Highlights
- Premier surfing destination in San Sebastián
- Four on-site surf schools
- Located between the Urumea River and Mount Ulía
- Popular for beach volleyball and tennis
- Overlooked by the Kursaal Auditorium
