Local tip
For a water-based outing, the venue can pair equipment hire with monitor support, allowing the activity format to match the group’s experience.

Fortuna Kirol Taldea, Kontxa is a sports facility beside Kontxa Pasealekua in Donostia / San Sebastián, centred on maritime activities in La Concha Bay. The venue serves as a base for the club’s stand-up paddleboarding team and school, while also providing storage and preparation space for watercraft including kayaks, canoes and paddleboards. Its role is practical and active, connecting local sports participation with access to the bay.

Equipment hire includes stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, canoes and bodyboards, with options for different rental durations. Monitored sessions are also available, making the facility suitable for organised activities and groups that need instruction on the water. Wetsuit hire and storage facilities form part of the wider service, while club members receive access-related benefits through the Fortuna sports organisation.

The venue also supports courses and activities arranged around the beach, as well as events linked to open-water swimming. This gives the facility a broader sporting character than a simple rental point. It functions as a meeting place for people involved in paddle sports, swimming and other activities connected with the sea, with a focus on accessible participation and structured learning.

La Concha provides the setting, with the waterfront immediately shaping the experience. Sessions take place around the bay rather than in a conventional indoor leisure environment, so the atmosphere is likely to be weather-dependent and activity-led. The facility suits visitors looking for an active addition to a San Sebastián itinerary, local residents interested in regular maritime sports, and groups seeking a supervised paddleboarding or kayaking activity. For travellers combining San Sebastián with Biarritz, it offers a distinctly coastal way to spend time in the city.

Fortuna Kirol Taldea, Kontxa is not a restaurant or café, and its offer is focused on sports, training, equipment and access to the water. The venue works best for those interested in participating rather than simply viewing the bay. Beginners can choose organised instruction, while more experienced paddlers may prefer equipment hire. Its location on Kontxa Pasealekua makes it a straightforward starting point for water-based activities in one of the city’s principal coastal areas.
