Surfing is definitely a must while you are in Biarritz. But after riding incredible waves all day, you will certainly want to chill. Here are the 11 top hangouts in Biarritz and the Basque region where you can relax after a set.
1. Le Surfing

You cannot surf in Biarritz without having a meal at Le Surfing, this iconic brasserie offering a gorgeous view over the Côte des Basques beach and the Villa Belza. The menu is very diverse and will please everyone. The best time to come is early in the evening, so you can watch the sunset that will take your breath away.
2. Port des Pêcheurs (the Fishermen's harbor)
Natural Feature, Architectural Landmark, Market
Spend some time in Port Vieux, an emblematic part of Biarritz where you will see some crampottes, the traditional fishermen’s habitations, lodged along the oceans’s dam. During high tide times, the vigour and the height of the ocean’s waves is just spectacular.

La Chambre d’Amour is a very famous place among the locals and it could become your favorite spot if you’re looking for an original romantic gateway during your trip.
