1. Beach day at La Concha: fun in the sun

A classic that never fails

When it comes to San Sebastián with kids, a beach day at La Concha is almost mandatory. This iconic beach is perfect for families thanks to its calm waters and fine sand. It's as if director Steven Spielberg created the perfect setting for a family adventure movie. Unleash your kids' inner architects with a family sandcastle contest. Don’t forget your shovel and bucket!

La Concha Bay is also the perfect setting for a kayak ride, and if you're traveling with kids over 6 years old, you can even try stand-up paddleboarding with ALOKAYAK. Perfect for feeling like a true explorer.

After a day full of activities, enjoy a stroll along the Paseo de La Concha. Imagine Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck walking hand in hand through this dreamlike setting.

Experience a journey through time and ride just as casino and ballroom guests did decades ago. From the top, you’ll have a panoramic view of San Sebastián that could have been taken from any Hollywood movie. Don’t forget your camera!

Peine del Viento, San Sebastián

4. Visit to the Peine del Viento: art and nature in harmony

A dreamlike setting

Peine del Viento, a masterpiece by the famous sculptor Eduardo Chillida, is one of San Sebastián's most iconic spots. This magical corner uniquely combines art and nature. What would Indiana Jones do here? Probably watch the waves crashing against the sculptures while searching for some hidden treasure.

El Peine del Viento consists of wind tunnels. So, when the sea is rough and the waves crash against the sculptures and the coast, the ground holes emit powerful bursts of air and water, creating a stunning spectacle. The kids will be fascinated.

Additionally, this is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the landscape. Even James Bond would need a moment of peace and tranquility here. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture this breathtaking scenery!
