Review & FAQ:
Set in the middle of Concha Bay, Isla de Santa Clara (Santa Clara Island) is a tiny island with a beautiful beach, a charming white lighthouse cottage, and a chiringuito bar with a terrace. Once used as a 'quarantine zone' for people suffering from the plague in the late 16th century, today, no trace of this horrific history remains, and the island has been declared a Historical National Interest Site. The little 30-meter-wide island is nestled between Monte Igueldo and Urgull Mountain and offers a secluded and tranquil escape from the crowds in the busy summer months. During the season between June and August, the island can be reached via ferry and has a lifeguard on duty for safe swimming.
