## Visit Grand Beach

Activities

#### Biarritz’s central beach is an ideal place for family-friendly activities, leisurely walks, surfing and sweeping views of the city’s major landmarks.

In a city famous for its wonderful beaches, Grand Beach (Grand Plage) stands out as one of Biarritz’s most picturesque. The beach fronts Biarritz’s city center and has the gentle waves of the Atlantic Ocean lapping at its shores. Grand Plage is a popular spot for families, keen photographers and watersports enthusiasts.

The beach has a wide stretch of golden sand that is ideal for sunbathing and people-watching. Relax in the shade beneath colorful beach huts and umbrellas available for rent.

The waves at Grand Plage attract both experienced and beginner surfers. Surf schools in the city center offer lessons and equipment rental. The beach can get quite busy at high tide, so at this time escape the crowds with a stroll along the promenades.

Walk south along Quai de la Grand Plage, which passes a tree-lined garden before arriving at the impressive art deco-style Casino Municipal. From here you can continue around the headland to a bridge that crosses to Rocher du Basta (Basta Rock). Enjoy views of the beach and Port des Pêcheurs, Biarritz’s historic fishing village.

Allée Winston Churchill stretches along the beach’s northern shore. This street presents great views of the Phare de Biarritz (Biarritz Lighthouse), which is also visible from all areas of the beach. Check out the opulent Hôtel du Palais, built in mid-1800s as a summer residence for Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie.

Grand Plage is just a short walk from Biarritz’s city center. Lifeguards patrol the beach from June through September and place flags to mark the safe swimming areas. If arriving by car, park in one of three underground car parks. Public buses stop on Avenue Édouard VII, which is less than a 5-minute walk from the beach. There is also a free tourist shuttle bus that stops at the beach and other major city attractions.
