The beautiful, wide sandy beaches of Anglet stretch from the Chambre d'Amour with its many restaurants and cafes to the more sedate Chiberta area. The many beaches in Anglet are separated by rock breakers and range from crowded to relatively secluded. Come here to enjoy the beautiful and relatively warm azure waters with laid-back families and couples. While there are some very talented surfers on these beaches (mostly from the youth hostel near the beach), there are also surfing lessons available for beginners. The surf can be a bit rough at times, but is generally ideal for swimming.

Boating and boat rentals are also available in Anglet. For those less inclined to physical activity, the sun gets very hot and powerful in the summer months and the conditions are usually perfect for getting that French golden glow. Parking and beach entry are always free, but parking can be a nightmare in the summer months as there simply is not enough of it. Be prepared to not be able to park in the beach lots and to have to walk a bit if you don't get there early enough (and consider that early in France has a completely different meaning than in the States).
