About Ondarreta Beach

Ondarreta Beach is always lively with tourists and locals sunbathing, strolling, and playing beach volleyball on the fine golden sands. The wide shoreline that extends for a kilometer, offers ample space where you can relax with family. During the months of June, July, and August, the shore is lined with colorful beach cabanas, sun parasols, and lounge chairs. The beach draws many body-boarders and surfers during winter when the waves are high. Ondarreta Beach offers the same postcard-perfect views of La Concha Bay, Monte Igueldo, and Monte Urgull, and Santa Clara Island and is backed by a lovely promenade.
