Best Beaches & Coast

Stretching along the Basque Coast from Bidart to Saint-Jean-de-Luz, these beaches offer varied terrain from sheltered, dike-protected bays to rugged surf breaks. The Grande Plage provides calm swimming conditions due to its historic sea walls, while spots like Parlementia and Lafitenia are renowned for consistent Atlantic swells. Many locations, including Erretegia, serve as access points for the Sentier du Littoral coastal path, featuring limestone cliffs and views toward the Pyrenees.
