Biarritz Information - South West France

The Pyrenees and Spain are so close that you can almost smell the Paella brewing on the other side of the boarder. We suggest crossing the boarder and going out in the beautiful Spanish town of San Sebastian with it's atmospheric cobble stoned street and pumpin' night life you want be sorry.

Biarritz is the most popular surf spot in Europe! Many surfers say the Biarritz is a ‘must surf destination’. The awesome waves and the bustling city with concerts and festivals, makes Biarritz the most unique surf destination that we offer.

This place is ideal for the advanced surfer, and there are many spots for the beginners as well. Surfing aside Biarritz and Bidart are perfect for just relaxing on the beach or chillin' in a cafe' it will stick on your memory forever. This former fishing village is situated between the Pyrenees and the Atlantic Ocean. In the city you will find beautiful architecture, many casinos’, palaces and entertainment galore. On the bustling boulevard you will find many cafés, terraces and restaurants. Ahhh, treat your self to a frozen Margarita on an outside terrace with the sea breeze through ya hair and talking about the day with ya mates.

The international surf season is opened every year in Biarritz.  It’s a fantastic spectacle to see all the colorful surfers on the ‘Beach of the Kings’ in front of Hotel du Palais. (the old villa of Eugenia de Montijo, the loved of Napoleon III)
