Take a semiprivate boat from San Sebastián around two bays to Pasaia, watching Mount Urgull, Santa Clara Island and the Comb of the Wind from the water. Sunset trips include a glass of Cava and photo keepsake.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The motor eases away from the Port of San Sebastián and the city peels back into a rim of sand, cliff and stone. Salt air pushes at your jacket and the captain steers close to the shore so the cliffs, beaches and urban skyline read like a shifting postcard: Mount Urgull’s green flank, Zurriola’s surf, Santa Clara Island bobbing in the bay and, further east, the sheltered inlets of Pasaia.

History
San Sebastián’s harbor evolved from a fishing enclave into a strategic shipbuilding and trade port; the coastline still carries vestiges of that maritime past in its villages and piers.
Conservation
Keep a respectful distance from marine life, avoid throwing waste overboard, and follow crew guidance—local operators work to minimize disturbance to seabirds and shoreline habitats.
