This live stream looks out over Ondarreta Beach, the quieter sandy stretch at the western end of San Sebastian's bay. It is useful for checking how the sea and sky look before planning a walk or a swim along the Basque coast.

A bay shaped by the hills

San Sebastian, known in Basque as Donostia, sits on a curved bay in the Basque Country of northern Spain, framed by the Urgull and Igueldo hills. Ondarreta is a smaller, calmer beach than the city's famous central shore, lying beside the promenade and the rocky headland. The town is known for its pintxos bars, its elegant belle époque architecture and its strong food culture, so the coast here blends naturally into city life.

What to watch and when

Depending on the view, the camera may show waves rolling onto the sand, surfers and swimmers in summer, or the tide slowly changing the width of the beach. Mornings often bring softer light over the water, while late afternoon can show the hills turning warm. Watching on a clear day gives the best sense of the horizon, and rough weather is worth noticing if you plan to go into the sea.

Climate and getting around

The Basque coast has a mild, damp climate with cool summers and rain possible in any month, so a light jacket is sensible even in July. The best time to visit is usually late spring to early autumn. The nearby Playa de la Concha is about one kilometre away along the promenade, and other cameras on the Gipuzkoa coast, such as Zumaia and Hondarribia, show different parts of the same shoreline.
