[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all.  We are gojng yo San Sebastián, if that helps.  It’s just me and and older teen so we won’t have ability to really leave one person on the sand to watch stuff.  I’m thinking maybe just run the risk with our towels and cover ups, unless there’s sort of the situation where when you rent chairs it comes with a guy to watch them?  We are staying in hotels but the hotels don’t seem to say anything on the website about whether they provide towels, etc., so I didn’t know if there was some norm here that I’m unaware of.[/quote]

It’s been a long time since I have been in San Sebastián/Donostia, but the beaches are right in the middle of the city. It’s not like “going to the shore” and definitely not like a resort. The Paseo along the main beach is pretty fancy so you’re not going to want to walk from your hotel to there in your swimsuit. Think - this is more like Central Park in NYC than a beach vacation. I’d probably bring a nice bag, a big scarf to sit on, smallish towels, and wear a cover up that looks nice (like guaze pants and a shirt). leave everything of value in the hotel room and get some kind of swim shorts with a pocket for your room key and a credit card.

The sea there is gorgeous and the unique thing about it is that it’s right there to enjoy without it being a “beach day.” You can just kick off your shoes after dinner and stroll on the beach. [/quote]
