The beach may look nice, but the sight of the nearby rubbish dump is an eyesore. The wind carries the plastic waste from the dump, polluting the beautiful blue waters of the sea.

After a glorious day in the sun, nothing beats a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters of this pebble beach. It's a great spot for a swim and even better, it has free public access. Highly recommended!

The beach in San Sebastian is a beautiful sight to behold, with its combination of stones and a scenic coastal hike. Even during the busiest of times, it remains a tranquil, deserted spot.

That place is a perfect spot for a day of relaxation. The waves come in gently, making it ideal for swimming. On the weekends, a warm and friendly couple can be found here, who own the nearby holiday home. You can get to this beach either by boat or by following the GR132 itinerary's Etapa 8.

This awesome beach is worth the effort of walking for an hour along the mountain - at first the path is not even marked, so you have to go down terraces without rhyme or reason until you reach the path on the edge of the precipice. But it's worth it! You'll find a huge, lonely beach with crystal clear water and the added bonus of free public entry. The stones may be a bit of a nuisance for those not used to them, but overall it's an amazing experience!
