Fly to Birritz Airport... Bus to Anglet and camp near the beaches. Then you have a nice selection of breaks/groyns from the cliffs to the river all in walking distance and still near shops/pubs/town.

Or bus to Capretonn/Hossogor and do the same (tho there arn't many campsites in/near town

Avoid July and August which are insane, the population in Biarritz swells from 30,000 to 250,000.

Go in September (best time of the year for waves too).
