Plage d'Ilbarritz Swimming Forecast
Ilbarritz · France
Plage d'Ilbarritz scores 77/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces NW. A compact, roughly 300 m sandy cove beneath a cliff-top chateau, with a reef break over sand and rock giving a fast, hollow left-hander by the restaurant area, plus an occasional A-frame peak; rocky slabs sit at the southern end. Unusually for this coast, the beach stays accessible at high tide; beginners are advised to enter at low tide. A 30 m exclusion zone from the cliff base applies for rockfall risk. Lifeguards patrol seasonally.
