Other places worth the walk, and what each one costs.
Phare de Biarritz
A 19th-century lighthouse on Pointe Saint-Martin with 360-degree views from the Pyrenees to the Landes coast. The grounds around the lighthouse are free; climbing the tower costs a small fee.
Port des Pecheurs
A tiny cove harbour tucked below the cliffs, with cramped fishermen's cottages now housing seafood restaurants. Free to visit and the most charming corner of Biarritz away from the resort gloss.
