La Grande Plage

If you're planning to hit the surf, I recommend grabbing your board and hitting the waves around 9 AM. The early morning sessions are less crowded and the waves are usually better, trust me!

If it's your first time swimming here, I recommend sticking to the designated swim areas. The currents can be strong, and I saw a few people struggle a bit when they ventured too far out. Stay safe!

Don't miss the Sunset! I think around 7 PM is the perfect time to grab a drink from one of the beach bars and soak in the beautiful view. It's an insta-worthy moment for sure!

Make sure you bring your own snacks or a picnic. The beachside cafes can be a bit pricey, and I ended up spending way more than I planned just on lunch!
Beach Cote des Basques

Don’t forget sunscreen! The sun can be pretty intense, even on cloudy days. I ended up with a pretty bad burn because I thought I was cool without it

Get there around 8 AM if you can. The beach is way less crowded and you can snag a good spot. Plus, the sunrise views are amazing. I wish I had gotten up earlier myself.

If you're into surfing, take a lesson at one of the local surf schools. They’re super friendly and it’s a great way to meet people. I made a lot of friends this way!

Grab a baguette and some cheese from a local shop for a picnic on the sand. It’s way cheaper than the beachside cafes and twice as satisfying. I didn’t do this and regretted it!
Miramar Beach

If you want to rent a surfboard, do it at one of the smaller local shops instead of the big names. They’re usually friendlier and offer better deals. I saved a good amount that way!

Pack your sunscreen and a beach umbrella; the sun can get intense! I didn’t realize how hot it could be, and I ended up with a nasty sunburn, which definitely put a damper on my trip!
Le Porge Ocean

I think you should rent a bike to explore the nearby dunes and trails. It's a great way to see more of the area without spending a fortune on transport!

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks to save money at the beach. The cafes nearby can be a bit pricey, and trust me, those overpriced sandwiches will leave you hungry!

If you're into surfing, I recommend hitting the waves in the morning around 8 AM. The crowds are smaller and the waves are way more fun before it gets packed

Watch out for the sun! I forgot my sunscreen and got pretty burned. Bring a hat and some high-SPF lotion, especially if you're planning on hanging out all day.
Pointe de la Torche

If you're not into surfing, go for a walk along the coast at sunset around 8 PM. The views are breathtaking, and it’s way less crowded then. Perfect for some peace and quiet!

Grab some food from the local cafes by the beach, they're often cheaper than the ones in town. I loved the crepes nearby – so delish and affordable!

If you're planning to surf, check the tide tables before you go. I found out the hard way that the waves are way better a few hours after high tide!
Hendaye Beach

I think if you're into surfing hit the waves around 9 AM. The beach is quieter and you’ll have way more fun without the crowds splashing around everywhere
La Palue Beach

I recommend exploring the nearby trails too. They offer stunning views and were way less crowded than the beach, making for a lovely break from the surf.
Marbella Beach

i recommend hitting the beach around 9 am to snag a good spot before the crowds roll in. the mornings are also nice and calm for a swim or a surf. just don’t forget your sunscreen.
Beach de la Graviere

I recommend getting to the beach around 9 AM if you want a good spot and less crowd. It gets packed fast, and parking can be a pain!
Bourdaines Beach

Plan to go around 5 PM. The crowds thin out, and you can catch the most gorgeous sunset. I regret not taking more photos that evening!
