Guéthary
Guéthary / Getaria
A small fishing village between Biarritz and Saint-Jean-de-Luz, with a tiny harbour, big waves over the reefs, and seaside bars with a relaxed atmosphere.
Guéthary is one of the smallest towns on the Basque coast. Its harbour is built into gaps in the rock, and a slope leads down to the sea where you can watch the fishing boats. The offshore reef break Parlementia produces huge waves in autumn and winter and is a well-known big-wave surfing spot in Europe. The village has Basque villas, a pelota court, and several restaurants and bars with sea views. It gets lively on summer weekends. The train from Biarritz takes about 10 minutes, and a coastal footpath leads on to Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
