The biggest waves
This beach is named after a hotel that was built here in the 70's, but the great tides of 1973 and 1975 wreaked havoc, and in 1977 it was moved. Later dikes were built to safeguard the coast from the ocean. Today it's probably the most frequented of all the beaches, filled mostly by families with children, and surfers. Don't forget that, according to oceanographers, it's on the Basque coast where they have the biggest waves.
