Beautiful Biarritz is an elegant seaside town on the Bay of Biscay in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region, south-west of France, near the border with Spain. The resort dates back to the mid-19th century when the aristocracy built their summer residences along this part of the coast, including the well-known Hotel du Palais, built by Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III. She had spent her childhood holidays on the Basque coast and fallen in love with its landscape – the hotel remains a symbol of the luxurious lure of Biarritz.
The town’s most famous beach, La Grande Plage, (1.4km) is in the heart of Biarritz. Walk along it to view some of the amazing Art Deco buildings which can be found around the city – the Casino (also home to a theatre and swimming pool) and the Aquarium which is a must for sea-lovers or families. There are plenty of other beaches such as the wilder Plage de la Cote des Basques, (3.1km) which has become a favourite for surfers. Biarritz has become a surfing mecca with enthusiasts from all over the world attracted to its 6km of coastline and there are plenty of surfing schools for all abilities and ages. 
Phare de Biarritz (1.3km) is a tall lighthouse built in 1834 – climb its 248 steps for stunning ocean and town views or look towards the beaches of the Anglet coastline. These northern beaches, surrounded by grassland and forests with promenades for walkers and cyclists, are well worth a visit. Known as “Little California” they extend over 4.5km of fine sand from la Barre at the Adour Estuary (5.3km) to Chambre d’Amour (1.3km), situated at the base of the majestic Cap Saint Martin cliff with its famous lighthouse. Sables d’Or (2km), lined with bars, restaurants and shops, hosts events throughout the summer with volleyball on the beach and spotlights to admire the waves at nightfall. L’Ocean (4.1km) is less accessible but will satisfy your craving for wilderness. If you would like to watch how the professional surfers compete, head to Les Cavaliers (4.2km).
Biarritz is a paradise for golfers as well as surfers. Your residence is only a 5-minute walk away from Golf de Biarritz le Phare. When you need change of scenery for your swing and putt, NAS Golf Chiberta (4km) surrounds L’Ocean beach and provides spectacular vistas of the ocean.
You will find some wonderful sea food restaurants in the Port des Pecheurs, (2.2km) the former fishing port. Food lovers, don’t miss the amazing market at the Halles de Biarritz (2.3km) including many wonderful Basque specialities.  Some of the local specialities include the local touron (marzipan), locally cured ham as well as mussels and mushrooms.
For a change of scene, head to Bayonne (6.5km) where you can walk around the narrow streets admiring the beautiful and historic architecture or walk along the river front. There are also some idyllic Basque villages inland to explore such as two of France’s Plus Beaux Villages, Ainhoa (26km) and Sare (25km).
