Facing the Musée de la Mer, the Rocher de la Vierge is a must visit in Biarritz

view lighthouse and grande plage biarritz from the rocher de la vierge

In good weather the view is superb, on one side the Grande Plage and on the the other side the Basque Coast with the Pyrenees on the horizon ...

At night or during storms the place is fascinating !

This rock is named after the Virgin installed on its summit in 1865 by grateful fishermen.
Caught in a storm these intrepid whalers were unable to reach the port.
They then saw a light that guided them, saving the lives of most of them.

The Rocher de la Vierge is close to the fishing port and the Villa Belza in Biarritz
