Biarritz Surfers
Biarritz is best known for surfing. With big waves and a laid-back surf culture, Biarritz is reminiscent of San Diego or Hawaii. Surfers come from all over the world to ride the waves on the beaches on the city’s coast.
Every summer Biarritz hosts the annual Biarritz Surf Festival on the beach at the Cote des Basques. The event is the biggest of its kind in Europe, and attracts surfing enthusiasts from across the globe.
If you want to learn how to surf in Biarritz, head to the beach at the Cote des Basques. There are plenty of surf schools for all skill levels there, and you can sign up for lessons by the hour, day, or week.
If you’re already a pro, you can rent a board at one of the beachside stands and paddle out on your own.
