Biarritz is perfectly safe during the day, as long as standard precautions are observed. There are pickpockets in crowded areas. When going to the beach, leave valuables in the hotel safe. Keep a close eye on your belongings in crowded places and during excursions
When it gets dark, we do not recommend walking through unfamiliar neighborhoods or looking in dark, deserted alleys. Although all downtown streets are heavily patrolled by the police and military. In case of unusual situations you can always contact the Biarritz Gendarmerie and get help and support.
