Pretty cool place, but not the cheapest. It costs €5 just to go upstairs, but the view makes up for it — you get a full panoramic view of Biarritz.
The stairs are quite steep, so it's not ideal for anyone who struggles with regular steps. I'm almost 2 meters tall, and everything felt really low, so be careful when walking around — mind your head!

Beautiful spot. Great place to watch the sunset. Fantastic cafe bar here for drinks, spritz selection, coffee etc. As well as bites to eat. Spotted people having oysters and all sorts.

I would say worth it, at its current price of 5 euro per person… nice views. 248 steps up I believe so a bit of excersise.

Great views over Biarritz from the lighthouse. Recommend walking through the fancy neighbourhood Saint Charles just behind the hill. There’s even a free tiny bus (N5) where everyone says hello when you get on.

So relaxing watching the tides from above. There is no elevator going on top, it's around 284 steps up. 😍

Good place to see the view and have some rest. Haven’t visited the Phare inside, because of the long waiting time.

Magnificent view of the Atlantic and of Biaritz, with a nice bar to enjoy an evening drink.

This lighthouse is located on top of cliffs close to Biarritz. The area is secure, clean, organised and parking (if you're lucky to get a spot) is free.
The views over the coast are amazing, we could see far across the Spanish border. This is definitely a good place for a break or a little stroll.
