Biarritz Surf Cruise

At Christophe’s shop, pick up your comfort cruiser bike (complete with surfboard and carrier rack), then check in at the Hotel Val Flores (Accueil Vélo accredited). The Hostel - just 10 minutes from the two main surf beaches in Biarritz: Grande Plage and the Côte des Basques, is the ideal place to chill after a hard day’s surfing.

To find the surf, you can’t go wrong - the sea is to the West! And after your first session, why not enjoy a good meal on one of the seafront restaurant terraces?  For example, Le Surfing restaurant, overlooking the Côte des Basques beach, offers fresh tasting cuisine in a west-coast style setting.

In the afternoon, it’s back for another surf session! You rule the waves in the European surfing capital! 

At the end of the afternoon, an aperitif somewhere near the evening market would seem to be called for. Take advantage of your first evening to enjoy the summery atmosphere, get acquainted with the locals, discuss the waves and discover all the secrets of the Basque coast.

Before going to bed, the keenest among you will take advantage of their comfort cruise bike to tour Biarritz by night; go for an evening spin along the beaches and admire the illuminated statue of the Virgin Mary: le Rocher de la Vierge.

Yesterday you headed south? Well, why not go north today? Anglet has a wide choice of surf spots, with no fewer than 11 spots to discover! And each has its own distinct character and atmosphere.

The most energetic travellers will cycle their comfort cruiser bike to Bayonne. Here you’ll discover the popular Basque ball game often played with bare hands: the ‘pelote basque’. Learn to tell the difference between the ‘fronton’ and ‘trinquet’ playing courts, and familiarise yourself with the traditions of this ancestral game.

When you're feeling hungry, sit under the arcades at the O'Jura Mendia restaurant and discover the flavors of Jura with Basque influences. After lunch, head back to Anglet for another surfing session! It’s your last afternoon, so why not set up a friendly competition? We’ll leave the rules up to you!

To snack after your last wave, you will find what you are looking for in Anglet where there are numerous gourmet addresses.

The return to Biarritz marks the end of your stay. When is your next weekend for trying out some new surf spots?
