A seal at the Museum of the Sea
The town has some interesting museums a Biarritz history museum at Rue Broquedis 64200 and a chocolate museum.
The chocolate museum is on 14, Avenue Beau Rivage 64200
We liked the Museum of the Sea where you can see seals, sharks etc. Like the seal in the photo

A good way to get your bearings is to take a ride on the little train. It takes you round the town centre it runs every 40 mins.
The town centre has been altered to make more pedestrian areas.
There is a covered market at Les Halles open in the mornings we liked the local Basque ham. The town has all the usual shops, cafes, and restaurants. This Guide will give an idea of the cost of eating out in the town.
