Bidart is a fascinating small town - with its very sprecial basque architecture. Houses lookung kind of Tirolean, I must say. In summer time, quite a lot tourists and surfers, but though; not too many - at least not in the beginning of July.

Bidart is a beautiful beach town that is very popular for surfers. This is town borders Biarritz (walking possible but a longer walk, driving within in 10 minutes) which also has a daily market to fill all fresh food needs. Bidart has more space to move around than neighboring tourist cities: walk on trails, paths that accommodate bikes and beaches, lots of green and ocean space. It is common to see small campers in parking lots (usually surfers) near beaches. This is our second time in Bidart and we are returning next year. The people who work in this area are relaxed and friendly. There are good quality bakeries, a prepared food shop (closed on Monday) that is very fair priced, many days there is a fruit and vegetable seller outside of this shop, supermarket with plenty of parking and an organic supermarket, with an easy to access gas station, a pharmacy, and is walkable throughout. There are many places to park (beach parking in major beaches and other parking) that is no cost. There are many neighboring towns that are easy drives or walks (some long, some shorter). It is easy to rent bikes in the Bidart center of town and many are now e-bikes. We usually go in May when tourism isn't as high, but there are still many people visiting due to the great surfing venue. We find that Bidart food prices are very fair as well.

Bidart is a calmer area than Biarritz, for example, or St. Jean de Luz. It is also much more affordable. The people of Basque are kind, helpful, and neighborly. We rented a house and it was very affordable. But we also rented a hotel (my husband stayed for work) on the beach (I wish I could have stayed with him). Bidart is an easy drive to Biarritz and other larger areas. Bidart has safe walking throughout. All amenities are available (could walk... a bit longer, can drive too): local bakery, local butcher, supermarket, pharmacy... Smaller market on Saturdays (limited food options, but can drive only 15 minutes to Biarritz market that opens every day). Bidart is centrally located to allow for easy driving to many areas. Traffic is less hectic in Bidart than larger areas. Children were still in school when we visited... love seeing families walking their children to school, coming home from lunch... We will be back.

Good location for sea, lakes and mountains. Parking a little difficult when going to one of the many reasonably priced restaurants. Plenty of supermarkets and Spain is only a short distance away, if and when they let you in and out again. Explore the towns on foot to discover the "old towns" which have a plethora of history, interest and food.
