Bidart - Pavillon Royal
Edit SpotAbout
tourists and locals, not the best combination, although the locals are v.friendly and there are probably more holiday surfers than locals as its not a great surf break! quite messy in the summertime!!
Additional Info:
From the campsite and you can check the surf while eating your breakfast.its an amzing site and a great place if ure a teengaer as there is lots of friendly teens to make friends with and go surfing and have campfires on the beach at sunset! There is a sandbar at the nude area of the beach where the beginners (and the weaver fish!) hang out!! Best time is just as the tide turns to high and you get the beastly shoredumpp!! clean waves and no witewash!! just careful of the rocks on the shoredump!!
