This exceptional aquarium is perched on a cliffside, a breathtaking piece of oceanfront property opposite the Rocher de la Vierge. One of the largest aquariums in Europe, the 7,000-meter space features more than 20 aquarium tanks.
The natural-looking aquarium tanks are filled with a wide range of amazing species, from lobsters and sea urchins to turtles and hammerhead sharks. The aquariums represent species from all the Seven Seas, including an array of tropical fish and an 11-meter-long Caribbean lagoon.
One of the highlights of the Biarritz Aquarium is the outdoor terrace, with a seal pool, where the adorable sea mammals swim and play. The twice-daily (10:30am and 5pm) seal feeding time is a popular event—especially for families with children.
It's fun to watch how quickly the seals gobble up huge amounts of fish. The outdoor terrace also offers astounding 180-degree ocean views.
