Plages du bassin d'Arcachon

The Plages du bassin d'Arcachon offer a variety of beaches, each with its own character and ambiance, suitable for swimming and relaxation. The beaches include the central beach, which is lively and features restaurants, cafes, and shops, as well as the more tranquil Eyrac beach and the long, sandy Pereire beach. The Abatilles-Arbousiers beach is popular with water sports enthusiasts, while the Mouleau beach offers stunning views of the Dune du Pilat and the Cap-Ferret lighthouse. The beaches are equipped with facilities such as showers, toilets, and picnic areas, and some are supervised by lifeguards during the summer season. The city also has a 'plage sans déchets plastiques' charter to preserve the environment and has implemented measures to reduce waste and protect the beaches. Additionally, there are bassins de baignade, which are alternative swimming areas when the tide is low, suitable for children
