Pointe Saint-Martin, Rocky cape in Biarritz, France.
Pointe Saint-Martin features steep limestone cliffs that rise to 80 meters above sea level, forming a natural barrier against the Atlantic Ocean.
Archaeological excavations at the foot of the lighthouse revealed Bronze Age artifacts, indicating early human presence in this coastal area.
The maritime heritage of Pointe Saint-Martin includes the remains of a 1928 hydrodynamic laboratory, established to study ocean movements and forces.
Visitors can reach Pointe Saint-Martin using bus lines 1, 2, 6, 9, and 11, with multiple stops near the cape entrance.
In 1928, scientists built a laboratory at the base of the cliffs to study water movement through a barometric chamber system.
