  • English
    • Biscarrosse is divided into three sectors:

      • Biscarrosse-Ville, located inland;
      • Biscarrosse-Lac;
      • Biscarrosse-Beach.


      The three form an authentic Biscarrosse, typical of the Landes towns which border the Atlantic coast.


      A bit of history

      30 kilometers south of Arcachon, Biscarrosse owes its name to Biskar, which means dune in Basque. As you will have understood, it is indeed because the place is surrounded by sand dunes.


      However, for centuries, Biscarrosse was more of a forest village. The locals lived from the exploitation of the Landes forest. It was the arrival of the railway and the rise of aviation that opened up new perspectives for the territory.


      Today, it is the beaches that attract thousands of tourists every year and have made it a trendy seaside resort.


      What to do in Biscarrosse?

      “Bisca”, as aficionados like to call it, offers you various activities:

      • The waves of the Atlantic Ocean are perfect for surfing and bodyboarding. Surfers of all levels and from all over the world flock to the beaches in the summer months.
      • On the lake, paddlers and fishermen come together to practice their passion.
      • On land, explore the region by bike or on foot through the green landscapes of the Landes.
      • Make cultural discoveries in Biscarrosse's museums such as the seaplane museum or the museum of traditions.
