Ideas for Basque Coast
Boating on the Basque Coast
The French Basque coast is open to the Atlantic swell, with cliffs, surf beaches and a few sheltered harbours at Hendaye, Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Anglet. Typical days explore the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and the cliffs of the Corniche, or the Bidasoa estuary on the Spanish border.
Where to go by boat
Saint-Jean-de-Luz bay
Bay protected by sea walls, with Socoa fort at its entrance.
Corniche basque
Layered cliffs between Socoa and Hendaye, best seen from the sea.
Hondarribia
Spanish fishing town across the Txingudi bay from Hendaye.
Biarritz
Seafront with the Rocher de la Vierge and the old fishermen’s port.
Tip: Swell can build quickly on this coast, and the Bidasoa bar off Hendaye becomes dangerous at low tide with a strong westerly swell.
