Biarritz offers many activities for you to enjoy with your family. If you’re well organised, you can enjoy some great times with your little ones. These family activities, inside or out in the open air, active or relaxing, will undoubtedly delight both the young and the not so young.
Sprinkle all this with a generous helping of sun and beach relaxation, and you have everything you need for a great family holiday that everyone will remember for years to come. Here are 10 family-friendly activities in Biarritz.
1. La Côte des Basques beach
A long stretch of sandy beach with magnificent sunsets
适合： 情侣/夫妇, 家庭, 照片, 经济, 冒险
La Côte des Basques beach is an absolute must during your time in Biarritz. This vast stretch of fine, golden sand borders the Atlantic Ocean, and the rolling waves that come in from the sea make it a true surfers’ paradise. The show never ends here, much to the delight of the kids who marvel at the surfers’ skills. They can also make the most of the water in complete safety, due to its lifeguard station geared up for children’s safety, and with the distribution of sun cream or identity bracelets.
The many surf schools available here mean that the older ones can also give it a go. In the evening, the whole family can enjoy the magnificent sunsets offering views across to the Spanish coastline surrounded by impressive cliffs.

2. Miramar Beach
A quiet and sheltered beach a few steps away from La Grande Plage
适合： 情侣/夫妇, 家庭, 照片, 经济, 冒险, 与众不同
Miramar Beach (Plage du Miramar) is undoubtedly one of the locals’ most closely guarded secrets. It is a thousand miles from the hustle and bustle of the beach at La Grande Plage and yet so close by. This small sandy beach, mostly accessible by foot, is a quiet and charming place sheltered from the wind. It’s therefore an ideal location to enjoy the delights of the sea with young children.
Supervised bathing is available in July and August. However, as with the rest of the Basque coastline, it’s not advisable to go in the water during high tide or when the sea is rough. Outside of the bathing area, surfers and bodyboarders provide entertainment.
