Playa de Kalaburtza

Playa de Kalaburtza is a beautiful and discreet beach located in the town of Pasai San Juan, Guipuzcoa. Known for its crystal clear and calm waters, it offers a tranquil and magical atmosphere. The beach is appreciated for its natural beauty at any time of the year, but is particularly ideal for bathing in the summer. The water temperature is often perfect, and it is not uncommon to spot fish swimming in the clear waters. The beach is accessible via a 20-minute walk from the town square of Pasajes San Juan. However, visitors are advised to go through the town, as some maps may direct them along a more complicated path through the mountains. At low tide, the beach reveals a sandy shore, adding to its charm. Playa de Kalaburtza is equipped with three fresh water showers, which are highly appreciated by visitors. After a day at the beach, these showers provide a refreshing experience, leaving one feeling rejuvenated. The beach also offers impressive views towards San Pedro, the Mendiola mountain, and the lighthouse. Nearby, just a three-minute walk away, there is a beach bar offering grilled food and stunning views. Despite its beauty, the beach has been noted for some issues with litter. However, the breathtaking views and serene atmosphere make Playa de Kalaburtza a must-visit location, even for those who are not typically beach-goers.
