Historic defensive fortress built in 1627, with a circular tower & views of the ocean bay.
Slide 1 of 8
One of the best spots in Ciboure, south-west France. We stopped at Fort de Socoa on our way from Biarritz to Hendaye and San Sebastian. There is plenty of parking very close to the fort.
Very nice walk from saint jean to here. Takes roughly an hour. The castle is worn down and you can’t access, but you do get amazing views of the sea wall. The big waves crashing against the wall is well worth a visit and look at. Lots of space and lots of amenities nearby.
It's in ruins and no one is allowed inside. But we can walk upto to the fort and see the Breakwaters. Off the edge, looking into the ocean, you can see the rocks at an angle because of the fault line. There is an amazing view of the bay from here. You see the Rhune Hill and Port of Socoa.
You can't enter. Signs telling you to keep out. Even gates and fences to stop you walking onto the harbour wall. Though there is a way around the fences to save you clinmb over. Views of the town are good. Views of the coast and the interesting rock formation are good.
Very picturesque scenery, perfect spot for nature or portrait photoshooting. Weather and sky might change several times over just one hour- that’s the ocean’s behavior!
About 1 hr pleasant walk to fort from saint jean de luz.
Nice View. Because of Danger it is not possible to visit the end of the pier.
Beautiful promenade by the port, you can't visit the fortification inside but still nice!! You'll fine a small beach calmer that the main one, quiet for children

Beautiful view 🖤
Love this beach!
Very nice place!!!
(Translated by Google) A charming beach, my wife and I discovered it in October. Protected by the sea walls of Luzienne Bay, the water was very clean and the light swell encouraged swimming, even with children. That year, the Indian summer allowed us to enjoy it every day. Paradise in the middle of the city. (Original) Charmante plage, nous l’avons connue en octobre, mon épouse et moi. Protégée par les digues de la baie luzienne, l’eau y était d’une grande propreté et la houle légère incitaient a la baignade, même avec des enfants. Cette année là, l’été indien permettait d’en profiter chaque jour. Le paradis en pleine ville.
