La Concha Beach

The beach of La Concha is a large crescent of fine golden sand with the city of San Sebastián as a backdrop. The beach is set in a spectacular semi-circular bay between the forested headlands of Monte Urgull and Igueldo. This vista is further enhanced by the tree covered Isla de Santa Clara rising out of the middle of bay. La Concha is often cited as one of the best urban beaches in Europe, and there is little doubt of this. With a promenade running the length of the beach and a plethora of cosmopolitan cafes and bars La Concha is as sophisticated as it is spectacular.
