Hendaye is the most south-westerly town and commune in France, lying in the PyrĂ©nĂ©es-Atlantiques department and located in the traditional province Lapurdi (Labourd) of the French Basque Country. The town is a popular seaside tourist resort by the Atlantic coast, the "CĂŽte Basque", lying at the same time on the right bank of the Bidassoa, which marks the border with IrĂșn, Spain. It is currently the fifth largest commune in the PyrĂ©nĂ©es-Atlantiques, and fourth urban area.
The town is arranged in two distinguishable parts: on the one side, the primal nucleus stretching from the church Saint Vincent to the area around the SNCF terminus and, on the other, the quarter developed next to the beach by the ocean, with a clear tourist vocation. The latest development (Sokoburu) has taken place in the most westerly sand spit located by the mouth of the river Bidassoa.© This article about tourism in Hendaye is provided by a external resource
