Quiet Beaches in Biarritz

1 atmospheric beach away from the busier city centre crowds

While Biarritz is best known for its surf culture, the Côte des Basques offers a different experience — a historic beach beneath dramatic cliffs, less frequented than Grande Plage, with atmospheric sunsets and a reverent connection to the sport's European origins.

Cote des Basques Biarritz quiet cliff beach

Côte des Basques

The historical heart of European surfing sits beneath dramatic coastal cliffs — slightly further from the city centre and consequently quieter than Grande Plage, with magnificent sunset views across the Bay of Biscay and a sacred atmosphere among surf devotees.
