This is a lovely little beach with gravel, which gives the water a crystal-clear quality and allows you to see the sand on the ocean floor. The lack of waves makes it a wonderfully peaceful spot to unwind and enjoy the cool, salty water of Biarritz. It's also a great place for families, as there is a small dock for jumping into the water, and a nearby bar for refreshments. However, it's worth noting that this beach can get quite crowded. Overall, it's a four-star experience. ⭐️
