The main type of entertainment on the water in Biarritz is surfing. It is not for nothing that the resort is called the European capital of this sport. World competitions among wave conquerors are held here, as well as more than a dozen surfing schools. One two-hour lesson costs about 40 EUR.
In 2011, the City Of The Ocean shopping center was solemnly opened in the city, where all the necessary equipment and accessories for all kinds of water sports are sold. You can buy a good surfboard in Biarritz at a ridiculous price: a board for a beginner costs from 7 to 17.5 EUR.
Other water activities in Biarritz are also not forgotten. Wakeboarding, wakesurf, parasailing, diving, rowing, renting catamarans and motor boats are an integral part of local hotels' services. Among them are Sofitel Biarritz Le Miramar Thalassa, Florida, and Mercure hotels.
