Welcome to Biarritz
Seasoned surfers and well-heeled sunseekers congregate at the Basque Country resort of Biarritz, where golden sands provide miles of turf for beachgoers and summers pull in the crowds. Trying water sports, golfing, and visiting the art deco casino are among the top things to do in Biarritz, while coastal trails lead hikers along wild sea cliffs and through tiny fishing villages for a taste of the real Basque Country. Just a half-hour drive from Spain, this multilingual region has a culture all of its own—look out for traditional festivals, pelota tournaments, and hearty regional cuisine.
