A free shuttle goes down to the beach every day in July and August. That way, you can leave the car at the campsite and avoid looking for parking in high season.
Outside these two months, allow 5 minutes by car and about twenty minutes on foot to cover the 1.5 km between the campsite and the sand. So the beach is accessible in every season, and our year-round campsite in Hendaye welcomes you in February as well as in August. In winter, you can enjoy the sand without the crowds, and surfers still come here.

Remember to ask reception for the timetable as soon as you arrive—it varies depending on the period!”
