Anglet Beaches – Chambre d'Amour
Plages d'Anglet
Eleven connected beaches stretching about 4.5 km north of Biarritz, with steady surf that young surfers and locals often prefer.
Anglet's beaches run from the Chambre d'Amour beach below the Biarritz lighthouse to the mouth of the Adour River. Breakwaters divide the sands into sections, and each one has lifeguards and surf schools. Flat promenades and bike paths follow the coast, and the northern end is dunes and pine forest. Chambre d'Amour takes its name from a legend about a pair of lovers who were trapped in a cave and drowned by the tide. In summer the beaches are more relaxed than the town beaches, and the evening stroll here is ideal for watching the sunset.
