When to go to Biarritz?
Atlantic swell does the sculpting here: cliffs, coves and the wide sweep of the Grande Plage, where surfers and belle-époque façades share the same view. A footbridge runs out to the Rocher de la Vierge, a spur of rock planted in the ocean with the spray coming over the rail. The Musée de la Mer and the lighthouse fill in the rest, sea life below and long horizons above.
