Biarritz – one of the most popular resorts on the Atlantic coast, attracts tourists with its sea air, mild climate and the extraordinary beauty of the Atlantic Pyrenees.

The beaches of Biarritz

Sandy beaches stretch from two rocky ledges – Cape Saint-Martin and the Atalay plateau to the northern beach of Chambre d’Amour. Biarritz is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Golf and windsurfing are considered the most popular types. Every year international windsurfing competitions are held here, where professionals and amateurs from all over the world perform. The French Atlantic coast is known for its wide sandy beaches. However, there is a problem with ebbs and flows here: in some areas, the sea goes a kilometre from the coast.
