Bridge on the Beach at Biarritz
Roadquill Says: In the center of the beaches area, dividing the huge sunbathing beach from the tidal pools is a curved, stone/concrete bridge that takes you out to a scenic point with excellent views up and down the coastline.
Enjoy the wide, pleasant beach
Roadquill Says: The beach to the North West of the city center is long, wide and sandy beach. Plenty of room for laying out and soaking some rays. Life guard stands provide some assurance of safety as the waves are crushing.
King_Golo Says: This is, in my humble opinion, the only sight worth visiting in Biarritz: its beach, the "Grande Plage". Located between a rocky hill and a lighthouse, it boasts a good 500m of fine sand and some spectacular waves. These can be quite dangerous: back in Biarritz's glory days,...

Miremont - Confiserie and Patisserie: Breakfast at Miremont
Roadquill Says: With views from the room of the ocean, and dark wood paneling, chandeliers, Miremont is a step above your typical breakfast place... and you pay a little more for the ambiance. Eggs, coffee, a muffin and orange juice ran my about 13 euro, but it was very nice and the servers...
Restaurante Tikia: Tikia - by the ocean
Roadquill Says: Restaurante Tekia is a open, airy restaurant with inside and outside seating. An excellent selection of wines where you can get half a carafe at a reasonable price. Prix fix menu provided several choices for two plates and a dessert. My salmon was very good. The restaurant...
Bar de la Gare: Bar de la Gare - Gare de Biarritz
Roadquill Says: Just out the Gare de Biarritz is the Bar de la Gare....and with a name like that, and the fact I had a two hour wait until the next train North to Bordeaux, it was a good place to spend some time updating my journals and enjoying a couple of glasses of wine. It turned out...

Roadquill Says: The train station at Biarritz is an easy station to navigate through. The size is relatively small considering the size of the city. The downside is that it is several miles away from the city center. There is a bus that goes from the train station to the city center,...
Local bus from downtown to the train station
Roadquill Says: For less than 1 euro there is a local bus that heads from just below the tourist information station to the Gare de Biarritz. It makes about ten stops, but it is comfortable and easy to take. Less than 30 minutes.
tissie Says: When in this part of France you must go to a chocolate festival or to the chocolate museum and you must definitely eat and buy chocolate. The nearby town of Bayonne (easily reached by bus) holds a festival of "indulgence" under the auspices of the "Académie du Chocolat" (the...
Klod5 Says: Plongez dans le golfe de Gascogne Au cœur de Biarritz, à deux pas de la Grande Plage et dominant l’océan, le musée océanographique de Biarritz propose une approche très complète de l'océan, de sa flore et de sa faune. Le parti pris est d'illustrer les liens historiques,...
Why are the trees so malformed?
lonestar_philomath Says: It is customary in Southern France for trees to be trimmed back extensively every year. I think this trimming looks ugly. I would certainly like to know (1) what trees this is done to and the (2) reason for such heavy back trimming.
Ludders Says: dont overpay when you pay remember you do not have to pay during siesta hours. we paid for the time we wanted but the machine gave us additional time so if your clever just pay up until the time shown.
Ludders Says: follow the road from biaritz to bayonne and you will come accross a large department store called l'eleceric. just accross the road is a small coffee house where an ex french international works, by a florist . He has on display his shirts and photos. He is very welcoming...
Ainhoa, Sare and other small towns.
euzkadi Says: Around Biarritz you can find small and beautiful towns like Ainhoa, Sare or Larun with the zipper train. And in the Spain side the wonderful San Sebastian (Donostia), and Fuenterrabia (Hondarribia) with it´s amazing balconies.
Klod5 Says: Biarritz est un des "paradis des surfeurs" du monde entier. Chaque année, des compétitions permettent aux meilleurs spécialistes mondiaux de se mesurer aux vagues de la côte Basque.Biarritz is from all over the world one of the " paradises of the surfers ". Every year, some...
iNorv9 Says: For a week each July, Biarritz hosts a world class longboard surf competiton on the Cotes des Basques Beach. Thousands of surfing fans flock to the city each year, which makes for a pretty crazy weeklong party. Check out the website for more details.
Klod5 Says: Elle se situe juste sous l'institut Thalassa, construit à l'emplacement de l'ancien et somptueux hôtel Miramar (créé en 1927) et qui a donné son nom à la plage, l'une des plus à la mode de la côte dans les années 30. (Elle s'appelait auparavant plage BERNAIN.)Face à la...
Klod5 Says: La Grande Plage s'est d'abord appelée Côte des Fous, puis Côte du Moulin et enfin plage de l'Impératrice en 1858. Débaptisée en 1871 après la chute de l'empire, elle prit alors son nom actuel.L'une des plus belles et plus grandes plages de Biarritz, qui s'étend du nord au...
