A Walk Around The Port Vieux District (Old Port Area) of Biarritz, France
Until the middle of the 19th century, Biarritz was centered around the Port Vieux. It was here where the whaling ships came to dock and where the fishermen would cut up the whales.
There is a tiny beach located there (called Plage Port Vieux) and some bars surrounding it. The beach is sheltered from the wind and the waves, offering good conditions for swimming. It is frequented by locals all year around.
The old port is the perfect starting (or end) point for a walk through the town.
Shopping & Eating Area
If you want to go shopping, we recommend a walk down the Rue du Port-Vieux (there are also a lot of shops, bars and restaurants there). From there, you can continue to the Rue Mazagran and Rue Gambetta.
A Walk Around Plage du Port Vieux, Biarritz
Port Vieux Beach in Biarritz is without a doubt the smallest beach in this seaside destination but also the most charming! With an oval form, it is surrounded by arcades like we see in Italy. The view is lovely of the Rocher de la Vierge. This is the locals' favorite beach. There is a lifeguard from mid-June to the end of September.
Note that this beach is protected from wind and waves, making this beach great for families with children.
Access is possible from the Place du Port Vieux by stairs (not handicap accessible). A parking lot (paid in season – only 50 places) can be found here. In season, the easiest way to get here is to park in the lot Sainte Eugenie or use the shuttle from Cote des Basques Beach (free).
A restaurant is available on this beach with an enchanting view of the sea. At Place du Port Vieux we also find several restaurants and bars.

Places to see in ( Biarritz - France ) Biarritz Beach
Beaches and surfing — not to mention a wonderfully mild climate— are at the heart of Biarritz‘s enduring appeal as a holiday resort. Its ideal location in the Bay of Biscay on France’s Atlantic coast means that Biarritz has become the surfing capital of Europe. But even for those who want a less strenuous time at the seaside, the beaches offer a great place to relax, take a dip or simply soak up the rays. Biarritz’s six beaches offer plenty of variety. Some are perfect for swimming or surfing, others are ideal for families with small children. Here’s our guide to help you choose the right beach for you and your family. And don’t for get to check on the tides before you visit the beach!
The central beach close to the town centre is the Grande Plage (the name means ‘Big Beach’ or ‘Main Beach’). This is the beach shown most often in photos of Biarritz and where the famous and not-so-famous come to bathe, relax and pose in the heart of this resort. But thanks to the large waves that roll in from the Atlantic Ocean, it is also viewed as one of the finest surfing beaches in Europe. The waves can be huge! The Grande Plage runs between the famous Casino on the seafront to the even more famous Hotel du Palais.
The Miramar beach is really a continuation of the Grande Plage after the Hotel du Palais — perhaps less popular with the glitterati because it’s a bit further to walk! Surfing is not allowed here though bodyboarding is.
The Port Beach is south of the Grande Plage, and as its name suggests it’s right next to the Port Vieux or Old Port in Biarritz. This small beach is set in a rocky cove which shelters it from the wind and large waves. This means it is not great for surfing — but is very good for people with young children. This is definitely a family-friendly beach.
The Côte des Basques beach is just south of the Port Vieux beach but could hardly be more different. While Port Vieux beach is small and intimate, the Plage Côte des Basques beach (literally ‘Basque coast beach’) is very long, open and a surfing paradise. In many ways out of all the Biarritz beaches this is THE surfing beach, and is where surfing in France all started.
Marbella Beach is essentially a continuation of the Côte des Basques beach. It’s an attractive beach and has a slightly wilder feel than some of the neighbouring stretches of sand The setting and waves make it good for surfers and beachborders, though because of the difficult access down steps and across rocks it is not ideal for people with limited mobility.
This is a large beach which is especially popular with locals — perhaps because it’s usually less crowded than some of the others and the fact that there’s plenty of free car parking nearby. There’s also a lovely walk around the beach and a play area for children, plus a café. All in all it’s a great beach and one of the Biarritz beaches that’s often overlooked by tourists. One thing to note: the breakers can be a bit lively when the tide’s in

Description
A Walk Around Plage du Miramar, Biarritz, France
This beautiful beach is a place to relax and enjoy the refreshing seaside breezes. Extending from the Hôtel du Palais to the Pointe Saint-Martin, the Plage du Miramar is distinguished by its spectacular scenery and dramatic shore-breaking waves. Although the sheltered beach offers a sense of tranquility, rough seas and strong currents (including riptides) make swimming dangerous. The condition of the waves and currents should be considered before entering the water.
The beach attracts sunbathers and spa-goers, who frequent the nearby Thalassa Sea & Spa center. Miramar Beach is less touristy than the Grande Plage and has the charm of an old-fashioned seaside resort—especially in summertime when vintage-style, striped beach tents make their appearance. Lifeguards are on duty in July and August.
Just off the coast is a huge rock, the Roche Ronde, a protected nature area and bird sanctuary.
