Biarritz’s timeless charm is evident throughout the town, but it is best known for its stunning shoreline. Recommended public beaches include the Plage du Port-Vieux, Cote Basque and Grande Plage – the latter dotted with its distinctive striped canvas changing tents that can be rented by the day. As the surfing capital of Europe since the 1950s, Biarritz attracts a mixture of young and old from all social spheres, giving the town a lively but refined atmosphere.
Biarritz’s attractions are not confined to the shore. The Casino Municipal, situated behind the Grande Plage, is a fine example of 1930s architecture and well worth a visit. Stroll from here to the old port to get a feel of the town’s golden age, and don’t forget to stop for tea at Miremont’s Salon de The on the Place Clemenceau.
There are a number of interesting museums in the area, including the Biarritz Marine Museum with its underwater viewing area, and the rather indulgent Chocolate Museum, which offers tasting sessions. The Historical Museum of Biarritz is situated in a former church and tells the story of the town’s transformation from tiny fishing village to high-society resort.
It’s no surprise that the majority of activities on offer in Biarritz are water-based. Surfing shops offering lessons and equipment are plentiful, as are deep-sea diving centres. White-water rafting is also popular, and thalassotherapy is offered at a number of centres along the coast. On land choose from golf, horse-riding, trekking and the region’s own game, Basque Pelota.
