Also didn't nitpick the time. I only had to put an id down as a deposit and paid for the rental after. It was super easy, like 1.5 blocks away from the beach. I'd use them again if I'm so lucky to be in San Sebastián again one day!

Xabier was responsive and easy to deal with via email, and the instructor they assigned was wonderful, according to my family--very nice, generous with his time, and spoke English. They will loan you everything you need (wetsuit and board) and they have lockers at the school to stow your valuables. Bonus: a hot shower was made available at the end. Can't recommend them enough, as good as it gets!

The water was a bit cold and the weather was kind of cool while I was visiting, so many of the surfers had wet suits. There are stations for lifeguards and first aid that are open based on the season and a set schedule. Many restaurants, cafes and shops are located right across the beach.

This was my favorite beach in San Sebastian. It is typically called the "Surfer Beach" because…read moreguess what? It's a surfer beach! This a great beach to bum at - the sand is nice and soft. And it's a really nice place to just chill and watch surfers surf! There are designated areas when people can go in the water and play. The lifeguards try and ensure that people aren't getting too close to the high waves and surfers. In terms of the surf, the waves are pretty decent. You'll usually come across knee high to waist high waves (at least that's what is was when I was there). This is a great place for beginner/intermediate surfers to improve their skill level! Beware though, the waves come in very quickly, one after the other. This made me a little exhausted because every time I surfed a wave, it would take me a while to get back to the "safe spot" or the break (I am not the strongest swimmer or most skilled surfer). You'll see many of the more skilled surfers drop out of a wave to avoid coming to close to the shore, if this makes sense. For the 1st timers, if you stay near the left side of the beach, the waves are ankle to knee high! Great place to learn, you'll see all the surf schools out here too!
