North Beach

North Beach, located in Lacanau, Gironde, France, is a popular beach known for its vast stretch of sand and beautiful dunes. It extends from the surf club at the northern part of Boulevard de la Plage to Carcans, providing several kilometers of beachfront. The beach is well-known for its excellent surfing conditions, making it a favorite among surfers. The area of the beach closest to downtown Lacanau is particularly popular and is easily accessible from a nearby parking lot. There are additional entrances near campgrounds, although these require a slightly longer walk from the parking area. Despite its popularity, the beach maintains a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere, especially during the summer months. The beach is not only appreciated for its natural beauty and surfing opportunities, but also for its cleanliness. This makes it an ideal spot for outdoor enthusiasts and campers, particularly those staying at Les Grands Pins Camping. In addition to its natural features, North Beach offers a number of amenities. There is a first-aid station located at the second access to the beach. For those who prefer cycling, landscaped paths are available that lead to a less frequented and more wild area of the beach. While the beach is well-loved and frequently visited, it also offers quieter, more secluded areas. These are particularly accessible for those taking the bicycle trail towards Carcans. At the end of a day at the beach, visitors can unwind at a lovely cafe situated on a nearby hill, offering a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the stunning views.
