Anglet: between ocean and forest, explore our unspoilt nature

The Gascon motto “Ma e pignada per m’aida”, translated into French as “The sea and the pine forest to help me”, perfectly illustrates the identity of Anglet, a town where ocean and forest meet.

Its well-preserved wooded areas, including the Natura 2000-listed Izadia ecological park, as well as its many parks and gardens, offer a multitude of outdoor activities. Whether it’s hiking, cycling or horse-riding, or discovering the local flora and fauna.

Anglet offers an unrivalled nature experience.
These protected green spaces make Anglet the green lung of the Basque Coast.

Parc Izadia in Anglet, a biodiversity sanctuary at the mouth of the Adour river

Discover Anglet’s Parc Izadia, a biodiversity sanctuary nestling at the mouth of the Adour River. This 15-hectare ecological gem offers a fascinating immersion in coastal ecosystems. Follow a 10-station trail to learn about the harmony and interactions between natural habitats. Observe an incredible diversity of flora and fauna on your walk.

Classified as a Natura 2000 site and Espace Naturel Sensible, it is a haven for wildlife, as are the surrounding forests of Pignada and Lazaret. Whether you opt for a guided tour to deepen your understanding, or prefer to explore at your own pace with the aid of a leaflet or digital tablet, Parc Izadia promises an unforgettable experience in the heart of unspoilt nature.

Izadia also offers exhibitions and scientific workshops for the general public, in collaboration with local biodiversity associations.
