Lafitenia

Access to the spot ?
Coming with the A 63 highway : exit at Saint-Jean-de-Luz Sud, and get to the N10 road. If coming from the North with the N10 : it’s about 1 km south of Guéthary. Take a right, direction Acotz. Then left and follow Acotz for another km, crossing railroad tracks. Then you arrive at Acotz with its several camping places. Round parking place on the left with access to the beach.
How does the beach look like ?
A small beach at the bottom of a cliff protected from winds, not as crowded as other beaches
How are the waves ? (direction, type and quality of the waves only)
A long right point break, good for carving surfing outside then a manoeuvre section. Works with long North-West swells and South/South-East wind. Can be barrelling with waves over 2,00m ( 6ft ) and low tide + big tide coefficients in the inside section. Too many people in the water in summer, can be dangerous with beginners not in control
How is everything else ?
There is a camping on the top of the cliff.
In summer, a little snack is on the beach.
