Marbella Beach, Sandy beach in Biarritz, France
The 300-meter stretch of sand sits between cliffs and includes a combination of fine sand, pebbles, and grass areas near the shore point.
Lady Mary Caroline Bruce, descendant of the King of Scotland, had Villa Marbella built in 1863, leading to the naming of this beach.
The beach maintains strong connections to Basque coastal traditions while serving as a center for water sports and surf education programs.
Visitors access the beach via 60 stone steps, with lifeguards present from June through September and a first-aid station near the parking area.
The beach remains accessible during high tide, unlike neighboring Côte des Basques, making it a reliable option for continuous beach activities.
