Anse Sainte-Barbe / Santa Barbara

Anse Sainte-Barbe is a scenic anchorage on the Basque coast where you drop the hook and soak in the views of rolling hills meeting the sea. The setting is quietly dramatic, with the hilltop chapel of Sainte-Barbe watching over the valley of the Nivelle just inland. It's a rewarding spot if you fancy stretching your legs — the hike up to the chapel rewards you with sweeping panoramas across the coast.
