San Anton is a small, rocky island connected to the town of Getaria by a narrow causeway that doubles as a breakwater. The island is a protected nature reserve, home to seabirds and hardy vegetation. Its most prominent feature is the San Anton Lighthouse, which has guided ships since the 19th century. Visitors can walk across the causeway to explore the island's paths, enjoy panoramic views of the Basque coast, and see the lighthouse up close. The site offers a unique blend of natural beauty and maritime history right at the edge of town.
