"A sophisticated seaside town with a royal history and a relaxing ambience which makes for a delightful and interesting city break. With just 20 minutes’ walk from central Biarritz to the lighthouse on Pointe St Martin, my top-tip is to climb to the top for sweeping views of the Basque coast. I also recommend the Grand Plage beach where you can wind down in one of the quirky, striped tents, which are iconic to the city. "
