June in Donostia: beaches, terraces and summer vibes

June is one of the best times to visit San Sebastián. The weather is mild, the days are long, and the city feels lively but not overcrowded. From Hotel Parma, right on the seafront, you can enjoy the very best of the season before the high summer rush kicks in. And let’s be honest – June is made for the beach!

San Sebastián has three main beaches, each with its own charm. La Concha, just steps from the hotel, is elegant, calm and perfect for swimming or sunbathing with views of the bay. For a younger, more energetic atmosphere, head over to Zurriola in the Gros district – a surfer’s paradise with great waves and a chilled-out vibe. Looking for something quieter? Try Ondarreta, at the far end of the bay – ideal for a relaxed, family-friendly afternoon.

And in the middle of the bay? The lovely Santa Clara Island – a small natural gem you can reach by boat (or even swim to, if you’re feeling brave!). The boat service runs from the port from June onwards, and once on the island, you’ll find a hidden beach, picnic tables, short walking trails and stunning views of the city from the sea.

After a full day of sun, sea and discovery, what better way to unwind than with a pintxo and a glass of chilled txakoli on a terrace?

Ready for a June with a sea breeze and a smile? Hotel Parma is waiting for you with the best views and the best plan.
