The picture-perfect white sand beach of the Bahía de la Concha (Bay of Concha) is the most iconic sight in San Sebastian. With a wide shoreline and mesmerizing turquoise waves, this expansive beach extends for more than a kilometer.
The beach, known as La Perla, overlooks the cityscape of San Sebastian and has an ambience of elegance. A protected location in the bay ensures calm, gentle waters that are safe for swimming. The Perla del Océano swimming area is found on the site of the former royal bathing pavilion.
Besides sunbathing and swimming, tourists will also enjoy strolling La Concha. A lovely promenade with elegant railing and street lamps, the Paseo de la Concha encircles the bay along the beach.
Within walking distance of the Bay of Concha is the tree-lined Alameda del Boulevard, a hub of San Sebastián's life with many shops, restaurants, and cafés. From here, tourists can explore the charming Old Town of San Sebastian
