Bidart between ocean and cliffs

One of the great pleasures of Bidart is its coastline. From the village, you can quickly reach several beaches, each with its own atmosphere. The cliffs offer beautiful views over the Atlantic, while the coastal path is perfect for enjoying the scenery on foot.

Bidart is also a wonderful place to explore on foot or by bike. The Vélodyssée cycle route passes along the coast, while the greenway along the Uhabia river offers an easy and pleasant ride for all ages.

The village centre, its traditional fronton, small shops and local events offer a glimpse of every day life in the Basque Country. Throughout the year, Bidart comes alive with markets, festivals and cultural events that bring together locals and visitors.

An authentic village by the ocean

Bidart has retained its authentic soul, with its traditional Basque fronton, village square and small local shops.
