Plage de La Barre

Situated north of Anglet (Angelu) and close to the mouth of the river Adour, supposedly the tiniest and most peaceful of the 11 beaches in the city. But the day I went to visit, the waves were so incredible that everybody was watching them. There is a walk of 4.50 km, the coastal trail that leads to the beach of la Chambre (where there is a well-known grotto named "Chambre d'Amour"). But on this particular day, as the waves made it forbidden to walk along some parts of the trail. It was a pity! Close to this beach is the ice rink, the Ecological Park Izadia, Chiberta Forest, a tennis Skate, a playground and a couple of lakes.
