Best Beaches and Coastal Landmarks
Biarritz's coastline is defined by a mix of expansive sandy beaches and dramatic Pyrenean rock formations. The central Grande Plage is flanked by the historic Hôtel du Palais and the Art Deco Casino Barrière, while the sheltered Port Vieux occupies a former whaling harbor. Iconic landmarks like the Rocher de la Vierge, connected to the mainland by a Gustave Eiffel-designed bridge, and the rugged Rocher du Basta provide elevated vantage points over the Bay of Biscay. Further south, beaches like Marbella offer a wilder landscape favored by surfers.
