The lighthouse is gorgeous and can be seen from most the area. Staggering height and over 200+ stairs if you’re ready for a workout. Personally, I was pleased admiring it from the ground this time…

Great spot to enjoy views of the Bay of Biscay and billionaire real estate monuments along the coast.  I’m told the cliffs are t expected t hold on for much longer before collapsing into the seas. 😇

Great place!  Visit early in the morning when there aren't many people to enjoy the views from the lighthouse in peace!  The lighthouse itself is very beautiful and it is possible to go inside and go up to the top, but it is only open in the afternoon.

It's not a 5-star "must-visit" location, but the lighttower is great on photos - and if you like you can climb up on to it during daytime opeing hours. Being so great on photos makes the area around the tower a great place to visit. Also, it's situated a bit away off the main tourist area, close the the very nice quartier of St. Charles. And at least in the summer months it operates from a little after sunset to midnight

Stopped by en-route to San Sebastian, only for the view though the bar looked nice with a great view down to Biarritz.

We stopped here for the view. There is some limited parking for up to 90 minutes but we couldn't work it out? A few spaces. The views are very good and there are toilets available and a bar. As we had limited time we didn't go in the lighthouse which is €5 each. It is well worth the time to take in the view.
