With its long sandy beach and seafront with 70 villas listed, Hendaye is a popular seaside resort whose visit is essential during a stay on the Basque coast.

Vincent’s church houses a cyclical cross, which is classified with historical monuments, the mysterious origin of which carries several legends. On the cliff, overlooking the city facing the ocean, stands the Castle-Observatory Abbadia: its neo-Gothic architecture mingled with Orientalism is the work of the Perollet-le-Duc.

A major tourist Site of the Basque coast and the property of the Academy of Sciences, the Château Antoine-de-Badie includes an astronomical observatory, an impressive library, and a chapel. The cornice on which the castle is built is an important reserve for biodiversity.
