Plage du Miramar, Biarritz, Sandy beach next to Hotel du Palais, Biarritz, France
Miramar Beach extends as a continuation of Grande Plage, featuring a geological formation known as the pierced rock fifty meters from the shore.
The beach gained prominence in 1854 when Napoleon III ordered the construction of Villa Eugenie, which later transformed into Hotel du Palais.
The beach maintains specific regulations regarding surfing activities, following changes from prohibition in the 1980s to current open access for water sports.
Lifeguards monitor the beach from May through October, with peak season coverage extending from 10:30 AM to 7:30 PM during July and August.
The beach location offers views of both the Cap St-Martin lighthouse and the Pyrenean mountains, with the Rocher de la Vierge visible in the distance.
