Anglet, Coastal commune in Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France
Anglet lies along the Atlantic coastline and connects residential areas with green zones that run between beaches and inland neighborhoods. Development alternates with open spaces, creating room for paths that lead toward the ocean or further into the interior.
For centuries the area remained sparsely populated because marshes covered much of the land and were only drained during the 19th century. With land reclamation the settlement began to develop and gradually grew into a residential area between larger neighboring towns.
The town carries a name rooted in old Gascon language, referring to marshy areas that once shaped the territory. You can still see this origin reflected in some street signs and neighborhood names that recall the earlier landscape.
Coastal areas are reachable through several access points that branch off from main roads and are usually well signposted. During high season beachside parking fills quickly, so it helps to arrive early or use public connections.
Along certain streets in the coastal part stand houses with their own small surfboard racks on garage walls or front yards, showing how everyday wave riding is here. On sunny days you see residents pulling out boards just before closing time and rolling straight toward the beach.
