About
Santa Clara Island (Spanish: Isla de Santa Clara; Basque: Santa Klara uhartea) is an island located in San Sebastián, Spain, in the middle of the La Concha Bay. It is located between the two most important mountains of the city, Urgull and Igueldo.
It measures 400 metres (1,300 feet) across, and rises to a height of 48 metres (157 feet), with steep sides. The island has a small beach which only appears with low tide. There is a small bar and a small port. Despite the small size of the island, the beach has a lifeguard service because of its popularity in the summer. The concrete pier of Santa Clara is served by boat from San Sebastián, running once per hour during working hours depending on the season. The island has an uninhabited lighthouse.
