Would you like to join us in GuipĂșzcoa? Located in the Basque Country, in the north of Spain, this province offers a beautiful coastline full of spectacular beaches which, as you know, are bathed by the Cantabrian Sea. And although in autumn and winter bathing is not highly recommended, especially because of the low water temperatures, it is well worth visiting this marvellous coastline.
Today on this website we would like to show you five of the best beaches in GuipĂșzcoa. We apologise in advance for the wonderful beaches we have left out. Would you like to join us?
La Concha
As it could not be otherwise, let’s start by talking about La Concha, the best known beach in the Basque Country. Located in San Sebastian, this urban beach is full of services and is also tremendously beautiful.
La Zurriola
Another beach that we would like to highlight in San Sebastian is La Zurriola, which is located between the mouth of the Urumea River and Mount UlĂa. It is a beach that is very popular with surfers and young people. In fact, surfing and volleyball championships and courses are often held here.
Itzurun
Of course, we also have to talk about Itzurun, which is located between the Marianton and Algorri points, in the municipality of Zumaia. Here you will find enormous limestone cliffs, a geological phenomenon called flysch.
SaturrarĂĄn
At the western end of the coast of Gipuzkoa we find SaturrarĂĄn, a beach that stands out for its two crags, with a peculiar profile. Here you can find different services. It is also a highly recommended beach for sports enthusiasts.
Zarautz
Lastly, we would like to talk about Zarautz beach, which is located between the mouth of the Inurritza regatta and the point of Iteico, in the municipality of the same name. It is the longest beach in the province.
