Great surf spots

From Guéthary to Saint-Jean-de-Luz, the Basque coast offers numerous surfing spots for beginners or for those who want to tackle big waves.

Avalanche, Parlementia, Lafitenia and Saint Barbe are well known beyond our borders.    

 

 

Sea kayaking

Today, there is no need to go looking for the waves, as it is also very pleasant to go for a ride over the ocean standing on a stand-up paddle or sitting in a sea kayak. The large bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Ciboure is ideal for these activities.

And for those who still want to have fun in the small waves, don't worry, go to the foot of Sainte-Barbe hill
