Anglet is a beach destination on the Atlantic coast of France, placed beside Biarritz in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. It is a place for those who come to the sea to surf, and its coastline is the reason most visitors choose it.
A coast for every level
The beach offers 11 different surf spots along its shoreline, so the stretch has real variety. Beginners tend to head for the gentler breaks, such as VVF, which suits those taking their first lessons. More experienced surfers may prefer the more demanding waves of Cavaliers. Because the spots differ so much from one to the next, a day on the sand can be spent moving along the coast to find the conditions that suit you.
What a visit offers
- Surf breaks for beginners and for more confident surfers
- A long sandy shoreline to walk, sit or swim along
- Easy access to Biarritz, its neighbour, for a change of scene
Anglet suits a visit built around the water: a morning in the surf, a walk along the beach in the afternoon, and time to watch the Atlantic at the end of the day. Those who want something beyond the sea will find that the nearby town of Biarritz is close at hand, with its own streets and coast to explore.
Check local conditions before you go, as surf spots depend on tide, swell and wind. Whatever your level, Anglet gives you a choice of waves and a relaxed place to spend the day by the Atlantic.
