Discover Landes

From the first heat, we only dream of this: Bathing, lounging in the sun ... Lazing and picnicking by the sea are finally on the agenda! The Landes coast is no less than 106 km of beaches stretching as far as the eye can see ! The walk may turn into a marathon ... We will help you a little, with a selection of the most popular beaches on the Silver Coast ! No official classification, we start from the Gironde estuary towards the south in the direction of Adour .

Vivier Beach

We start our lazy journey on the North Coast of the Landes , in Biscarosse , where 15 km of white sand awaits you. Among all its beaches, that of Vivier stands out for its wild side , nestled in the heart of a dune . She is known for her good waves . Surfers will enjoy ...

The atmosphere is ideal for learning to surf , stand up or paddle at Point Break school.

There are also plenty of other activities in Biscarosse, such as golf and its gourmet restaurant or a ride on an electric scooter in the nearby forest.

Remember Beach

Families are welcomed at Mimizan-Plage . Large car park, easy access from the city, supervised swimming in summer, lifeguard station ... But this large 10 km beach conceals many secrets ... Going down towards the south, you will find small, quieter corners in the hollow of the dunes . You will rather come across surfers , fishermen and some naturists.

Large expanse of sand or small , cozy nests , you will no doubt remember this atypical beach .

Chênes Lièges Beach

We continue our descent to the South Coast of the Landes . Let's stop at Molietset Mâa , this beach takes its name from the oak forest that surrounds it. Moreover, to reach it, a walk in the shade of these trees of a little less than a kilometer is essential. This preserved environment deserves!

Not to be missed in the surroundings: an unusual walk on the Huchet current or its nature reserve , called the "small Amazon of the Landes" .
