Goélands Beach

Goélands Beach, also referred to as Plage des Mouettes, is a coastal attraction situated in Mimizan, a town in the southwestern part of France. The beach is the first one to the south of the town and stretches along Avenue de l'Ocean, starting from the mouth of the Mimizan Courant, a local waterway. The beach's location near the town center and the Mimizan Courant adds to its appeal. Goélands Beach is known for its popularity, especially during the summer season. Despite the high number of visitors, the beach is not supervised by lifeguards. However, the beach is pet-friendly, allowing visitors to bring their animals. The beach is easily accessible through several well-maintained trails. However, visitors should note that parking can be a challenge during the peak summer season as the spaces along Avenue de l'Ocean fill up rapidly. Goélands Beach is recognized for its cleanliness and safety. The sand is free from sharp objects, making it safe for visitors to walk barefoot. Despite being a popular destination, the beach maintains a high standard of cleanliness. In terms of amenities, Goélands Beach is well-equipped to cater to the needs of its visitors. It has facilities such as toilets and showers. There's also a café on-site providing refreshments for beachgoers. While the beach is a popular spot for swimming, visitors should be aware that the waves can be strong, particularly in July. This can make swimming challenging but can also provide an enjoyable experience for those who like playing in the waves.
