Discovering the Biarritz Lighthouse
Perched on its rocky promontory, the Biarritz Lighthouse is a must-visit landmark in this seaside resort.
Situated on the border between Biarritz and Anglet, it offers a spectacular vantage point overlooking the Basque coast and the beaches of the Landes.
So, why not climb its steps to take in an exceptional panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean?
Put into service in 1853, the Biarritz Lighthouse was built to ensure safe navigation along the Atlantic coast.
Erected on the Pointe Saint-Martin, it rises more than 73 meters above sea level.
Its elegant, imposing white silhouette towers over the seaside resort.
This historic monument still in operation today is one of the most iconic landmarks on the Basque coast.
Once you arrive at the monument, you will need to climb to the top to admire the view.
After ascending the 248 steps of the spiral staircase, the reward is immediate: from the gallery walkway, you can enjoy an exceptional 360-degree panorama.
You can spot the beaches of the Landes stretching as far as Capbreton to the north, the cliffs of the Basque Country to the south, and on a clear day the peaks of the
Pyrenees reaching all the way to Spain.
Late afternoon is the best time to see the natural light reveal its most beautiful colors!
After your visit, continue your walk toward the Grande Plage to watch the surfers in action.
