Le Port des Pêcheurs, Fishing port and tourist marina in Biarritz, France.
The Port des Pêcheurs features colorful wooden huts called crampottes, active quays where traditional fishing boats and pleasure craft dock, creating an authentic maritime setting with ocean views.
Built in the 19th century with its first jetties constructed in 1837 and 1858, the port reflects Biarritz's maritime heritage when the town practiced whale hunting from the 12th century in the Bay of Biscay.
The crampottes now house local artisan workshops, maritime souvenir shops, and restaurants serving Basque specialties made with freshly caught fish according to regional culinary traditions and local fishing customs.
The port offers boat excursions, vessel rentals, and daily fish markets, easily accessible on foot from major Biarritz attractions like the Grande Plage and other coastal landmarks.
The only traditional fishing port still operating on the French Basque coast, it maintains 65 private concessions where boat owners store equipment in century-old wooden huts passed down through generations.
