Short walk on the tip of Sainte-Barbe, a hill above the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, in the Basque Country, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department. This route passes by the beautiful sandy beach of Flots Bleus and the Sainte Barbe lighthouse. You will have beautiful views of the ocean.

A good climb at the exit of Saint-Jean-de-Luz allows you to reach the residential district of Sainte-Barbe. At high speed, we then descend to Erromardie beach, the first cove where swimming is offered to the provident cyclist (bring your swimsuit and towel!). Then come the beaches of Lafitenia and Cenitz, which means that there are many opportunities for a dip. Finally, the port and the village of Guéthary add a picturesque note to this stage.

From Saint-Jean-de-Luz to Hendaye, the route runs along the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and enjoys beautiful views of the protected cove of Socoa. Afterwards, the spectacular and panoramic Corniche road guides you to the large Hendaye beach. To fully appreciate it, prefer the early hours of the day to free yourself from heavy traffic. Be careful, narrow road and heavy traffic.
