The emblematic Biarritz lighthouse stands at an essential location overlooking the coastline of the Cape Hainsart.
Built in 1834, the lighthouse is at the tip of the Pointe Saint-Martin, which marks a boundary between the sandy beaches of the Landes Coast to the south and the rocky coastline to the north.
Visitors may climb the 248 steps of the lighthouse to take in the scenery from this incredible vantage point. The 73-meter-high lighthouse commands sweeping panoramas of Biarritz and the Basque countryside
