Bay of Biscay

The deep blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean opens up as you track toward the southwest.

Landes Forest

The massive, uniform green canopy of Europe's largest maritime pine forest stretching toward the coast.

πŸ–οΈ

The Silver Coast

The endless stretch of sandy beaches from Arcachon down toward the Basque Country.

Biarritz Lighthouse

The iconic white lighthouse on Cape Hainsart marking the final approach to the airport.

The right side is the definitive choice for coastal views. For the best lighting, book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the Atlantic coastline. During the final approach, look down to see the surf at the Grande Plage and the unique rock formations like the Rocher de la Vierge.

Breathtaking views of the high peaks along the Spanish border during the southern descent.
