Cala de Santa Clara, Sandy beach on Santa Clara Island, San Sebastián, Spain
The beach stretches along the north side of Santa Clara Island, offering views of San Sebastián's bay and surrounding mountains.
During the 1597 plague outbreak, this area served as a quarantine zone, with a chapel standing where the lighthouse now stands.
Local associations organize annual September celebrations on the island, featuring community meals and traditional Basque festivities.
The beach becomes submerged during high tide, making low tide the optimal time for visitors to enjoy the sand and shoreline.
Swimming platforms with slides and trampolines mark the 406-meter water route between Ondarreta Beach and Santa Clara Island.
