Biarritz Aquarium

The Biarritz Aquarium, also known as the Musée de la Mer, occupies an Art Deco building opened in 1933 on the Atalaye plateau, facing the Rocher de la Vierge. Some fifty tanks show the marine life of the Bay of Biscay and of tropical seas, including sharks and a seal pool, and rooms cover fishing and the history of whaling in Biarritz.
