Biarritz is very pedestrianised, and it is very easy to get around town centre, to the beaches, to the best spots for surfing or shopping. This means whatever your holidays needs is a short and pleasant walking distance. It really is worth walking and exploring to find those unique and little typically French shops that can make your stay unique.
