The natural beauty of Plage de Suzac is one of its most striking features. The beach is nestled near the Suzac forest and is characterized by a decay cliff that offers stunning views from both the sea and the cliff itself. The beach is also noted for its wild, untouched nature, providing a beautiful view of the end of the estuary. Despite its dark-colored water and significant amount of mud, it remains a favorite among beachgoers.
Plage de Suzac is an ideal spot for sunbathing, surrounded by a pine forest that enhances its preserved environment. For those interested in water activities, the beach offers a range of options such as windsurfing, fishing, surf-casting, kite flying, sailing, and stand-up paddleboarding. Equipment rental and services are available at a nautical club on the beach. It is worth noting that the beach is supervised for swimming during the summer season, specifically from July 8th to August 27th.
In terms of amenities, Plage de Suzac offers two restaurants where visitors can enjoy a meal with a view of the sea. However, it should be noted that there is no disabled access ramp, and animals and naturism are prohibited on the beach.

For those driving, there is a small parking area near the restaurant at the northern end of the beach. However, parking spaces are limited, and many people park along the road even during the off-season.
Plage de Suzac is open year-round, with opening hours varying depending on the day of the week. Despite its vastness, especially at low tide, and the availability of various water activities, the beach is known for its tranquility, making it a perfect getaway for those seeking peace and serenity.
