The coastal path from Bidart to Saint-Jean-de-Luz

The first part of the coastal path offers a great diversity of atmospheres, alternating beaches, coves, paths and small roads. The arrival at the tip of Sainte-Barbe from which one overlooks the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz is exceptional. A tip ... to do preferably at low tide.
