[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you say San Sebastian, do you mean the actual city? The city tourism website has good info about each beach. click on accessibility and it will give you the deets on each individual beach in terms of showers/towel rental, lifeguards, etc.  go early because people tend to camp out all day (there is a big controversy in Spanish beaches about people "reserving" free chairs/spots by getting up at the crack of dawn, putting all their stuff there, and then strolling in at 10 am). also, if you're going to be at the beach at dawn/dusk, put on bug spray because it can get very buggy/mosquito-y if you're walking along the waves.

The best part of Spanish beaches are "chiringuitos"* which are little seasonal seafood restaurants on the sand, incredibly fresh seafood--like, they will have the shrimps wiggling in a bucket in the restaurant kitchen. It's also common to bring a cooler with food and there are people walking around selling food on the beach, too, like ice creams, cans of cold beer, etc.

Bring hand sanitizer or soap for washing your hands. there are also lots of shops to buy anything you might need near beaches like towels, umbrellas, swimsuits, flip flops, etc. No need to lug a big beach towel from the States, just buy one when you get there. Hotels usually also provide beach towels upon request.
