Breathe in the salty sea air in Zarautz wherever you go, whether walking along the seafront, in the hills, reading in a terrace cafe, enjoying pintxos with some friends and more. Zarautz has the longest beach in Gipuzkoa, at 2,500 metres.

Along the beach is a vast promenade that you can enjoy year-round. It is the buzzing heart of Zarautz; the beach is the place to be for leisure activities and sports, whatever the weather. Cold, rain, snow... this doesn’t stop people heading out to play football, surf, run, swim, do yoga or enjoy a stroll.

The promenade boasts sculptures by various artists and a playpark. There’s even a 1-km walkway over part of the beach that coincides with the biotope. At the other end, a wonderful seafront walk will take you along the coast to Getaria.
