If you're looking for the best surfing in Europe, then you'll only be disappointed when you get to Biarritz. The waves are unpredictable, and the breaks are poorer than you can find along the west coast of Portugal. On the other hand, if you are looking for the best surfing destination in Europe, then Biarritz will blow you away.
With stunning beaches facing the Atlantic Ocean, and great weather throughout most of the year, Biarritz has an unmistakeable air of class about it. People come from all over the world in order to sunbathe and surf, and above all to be seen.
Biarritz has all the hallmarks of a typical upmarket French resort town - the weather, the scenery, the hotels, but what Biarritz also has is a reputation for being incredibly fashionable. Everywhere you look, there are more designer labels than on a Chav's polo shirt, and no matter how down at heel and relaxed people look, the chances are that their outfit cost them the best part of a month's wage. In Biarritz, it is helpful to be able to surf, but to really knock them dead, you need to do it in a pair of Gucci sunglasses, and an Armani wetsuit!
