Ondarraitz, Sandy beach in Hendaye, France.
The 5.5-kilometer beach offers a gentle slope into the ocean with fine sand stretching from the town center to the Spanish border.
The beach area developed as a tourist destination in the 1880s, marked by the construction of the Croisière Casino in 1884.
The beach sits in the heart of French Basque Country, where visitors experience regional sports like pelota and traditional seafood preparations.
Lifeguards monitor the beach from June through September, with facilities including showers, restrooms, and equipment rental stations along the promenade.
Two rock formations known as 'Les Deux Jumeaux' mark the eastern end of the beach, created by geological forces over millions of years.
