See & Do
See & DoCoves and cliff walks are just a few minutes away, as is the surfing beach. Nearby Saint-Jean-de-Luz is great for exploring, with its narrow streets and lovely old buildings, while cultured Biarritz is a magnet: you’re sure to want to walk the promenades and pop into the Musée de la Mer, with its amazing fish. You’ll also see Europe’s coolest surfers in action.
Play Basque pelota in the village square, or hit the fairway: there are 18 golf courses within 20km of here. Those with a sweet tooth, should head straight for Planète Chocolat, the Biarritz chocolate museum, or check out the fixtures list at Biarritz rugby club, which hosts some of Europe’s top matches. Zip down to Spain, just 20km away for a day in Saint Sébastien or Bilbao (the Guggenheim museum is a must), play a different golf course every day or hit a walking trail in the foothills of the Pyrenees.
