Practical informations

Clearly marked swimming areas, water quality, waste management… you will know it all !

With water that reaches 24ºC in the height of summer, it is a privileged spot for families who seek plenty of space and safety.

It is also a good choice for novice and seasoned surfers in search of sensations.

The beach attendants propose facilities such as tent and deckchair hire and beach clubs for children.

The beach of Hendaye offers bathing water quality A for several years. The results are available on the site of Ministry of Health.
