Histoires De
Slap bang on the shores of Port Maguide, Histoires De is a cool, breezy bar and brasserie right on the water front. A classy spot surrounded in shrubs and palm fronds, look out onto the calm waters and the sail boats bobbing on the lake as you chill out with a glass of crisp white. Perfect for big families with kids, the shaded terrace sits right on the beach so the kids can make sand castles whilst the adults chill out in the late day’s sun. A beautiful setting for dinner or sunset drinks, cocktails at Histoires De is the perfect way to end a sunkissed day at the water park just up the road.

l’Idylle plage bar
A tropical lounge bar that looks like part of a Polynesian paradise resort, L’Idylle plage bar accentuates the beautiful beaches Biscarrosse is so famous for.

Le Corto
A world music bar with its finger on the pulse of the contemporary music scene, Le Corto is quickly becoming one of Biscarrosse’s best kept secrets. A mixed bag of theme nights ranging from hard rock to soul jams, nights at Le Corto are as unpredictable as the line up. Right off the beaten track, you won’t see many other tourists here, the first and last stop for most trendsetting locals, the rough and ready setting is in keeping with its selection of grass roots DJs and artists, simple but powerful cocktails (we dare you to try a Ti Punch) and effortlessly cool clientele.

La Douche
An irreverently upbeat bar relatively new to the Biscarrosse bar scene, La Douche is making waves as the hottest tapas bar to hit the strip. A whitewashed concept bar beautifully furnished like an Ibiza beach taverna, get comfy on one of many remodelled pallet beds after a long day at the beach. A few streets in from the sea shore, dust your feet off, grab a beer and chow down on succulent tempura prawns, baked brie and chiprons à la placha. Open till 2am, La Douche is a young, fresh hangout with clients to match, join the fashionable crowd during the summer from sunset till the early hours.
