Mornings on the Biarritz coast are often overcast with some rain showers. With a bit of luck, the sun comes out during the afternoon. Yes, you should have sun glasses and an umbrella with you at all times.
But there is plenty to do around here even on sunless days.
Children enjoy fishing with a net.
Others are surfing at all times.

Some just enjoy the view. There are plenty of benches everywhere.

Others still go for the beach.

Yesterday afternoon was also overcast, so we went to the Musée De La Mer (euro 45 for two adults and two students). Along the way, we enjoyed crêpes and ice-cream, sat on benches, took photos and had all the time in the world.
One of the many specimens we saw at the ocean museum was the seiche (cuttlefish or Bobtail squid). All explanatory signs around the museum are in French. I had to note the French names of the more unusual ones, so I could look them up later.

There is plenty to do and see around here, even on bad weather days.
