The beach with the greatest surfing atmosphere in Donostia, with high-quality waves, such as the Mompas right-hander and the central area, with intense right and left-handers.

The beach is open to the sea and works at all tides. On this beach there are important surfing events such as the European ASP Projunior contest, held in July.
