Ondarreta Beach
Ondarreta Beach is effectively a continuation of La Concha around a rocky point marked by the Miramar Palace gardens, slightly quieter and more residential in feel than its more central neighbor. It shares the same sheltered bay and calm water, making it equally good for swimming, and it's known for being popular with local families given its proximity to residential neighborhoods rather than the hotel-dense old town.
At its far end sits the Peine del Viento sculptures, Eduardo Chillida's iron works set into the rocks where the Bay of Biscay's waves crash against the coast, making a walk from Ondarreta out to the sculptures a natural extension of a beach visit.
