We have been a couple of times and havenвЂ™t seen the big waves they are known for, but it is an amazing beach with one of the coolest restaurants right on the sand. Les Halles is wonderful a market where you can pick up charcuterie or just about anything to have a picnic lunch on the Grande Plage.

Another great surf shop is BTZ located just above the the Grande Plage.

BTW, 64 is the first two numbers of the post code for this region. ThereвЂ™s a 64 Surf Shop in almost every town in the Basque region and they have great t-shirts, towels, sweatshirt, bags, flip flopsвЂ¦and anything you need surf related. The shopping includes department stores like Galeries Lafayette, but we head straight for the surf shops. ThereвЂ™s nothing better than a delicious burger and fries after surfing and then a long walk up the hillвЂ¦.it makes you feel like youвЂ™ve earned it! BonheurД«lack & white interior & exterior at Bonheur BiarritzД«iarritz is a little city that feels like a surf town as much as it does a city. Etxola BibiДЄfter surfing we found a favorite burger place that was a quick walk from the beach. It seemed to be a meeting place for surfers to locals just wanting to start their day with a coffee at the beach. It has several large cement tables and thereвЂ™s also bar stools at the counter.

IвЂ™m not exactly sure how that translates, but it is a small wood building that sits up on the edge along the main road that runs along the water. Where to have coffee/breakfast before surfingД®txola Bibi is described on their facebook page as a cabin. There are several surf camps if you want to take lessons. We were careful to arrive early so that we had our choice of boards. It was high tide a few of the mornings with no beach so we enjoyed another coffee at the beachside cafe with the locals and then made our way down to rent surf boards. It is a short drive to Biarritz from Saint JГ©an De Luz, but in order to get parking in the beach lot we typically arrived by 9am. The pool area with beautiful views of the Basque Coastline You can read more about La RГ©serve in thispost. This resort is not luxury, but it almost feels like itвЂ¦and the price is right. The rooms are comfortable and each time we have had wonderful water views. ItвЂ™s divided into several comfortable seating areas for those times when itвЂ™s not perfect outdoors. We had the perfect weather during the entire trip, so we didnвЂ™t spend much time in the lobby area of the hotel. The pool area is beautiful and the perfect spot to spend the late afternoon before venturing out for dinner. ThereвЂ™s even a Michelin Star restaurant at the hotel. Breakfast is served each morning on the terrace overlooking the sea. The hotel is very low key and sits high up on a hill with incredible views. We stayed once again at La RГ©serve Saint Jean de Luz. Also the few mistakes we made are ones you wonвЂ™t have to! Where to stay We did almost the exact same trip last year so planning made it a little easier this time around. This year we all sat around the table and once we had determined a date that we could all goвЂ¦it took us about an hour to plan our trip. We love the adventure of foreign travel, but a summer vacation for us is not about sightseeing as it is sun and fun. But hereвЂ™s the thingвЂ¦living on the east coast makes it almost as easy to travel to France as it is to head right back to California. So when we plan a family surf vacation, many are surprised itвЂ™s not back to Dana Point. We fell in love with California and the lifestyle and even after relocating for work to NYC, we continued to spend every summer in Dana Point. Our love for beach towns and surfing goes back to the days when my husband worked for Surfer Publishing based in San Juan Capistrano, California. Madeline is 24 and living in NYC and Patrick is 20 and just started his junior year at Syracuse University. Our family of four is fortunate to still be taking family vacations together since our вЂњkidsвЂќ are now adults.
