Plage Nord Biscarrosse: wild nature and fresh air on the Landes coast

This authentic setting, studied by local coastal protection organizations and renowned for its biodiversity, provides the ideal backdrop for understanding the natural wealth of the Landes coast.

As you walk out to sea, you feel the quiet force of the Atlantic; as you turn around, the shade of the pine trees recalls the presence of one of Europe's largest forests. As for the light, it changes everything: clear sand in the morning, golden reflections in the evening.

The Plage Nord in Biscarrosse is not just a place to swim: it's a sensitive area where you can feel, in a very concrete way, the fragile balance between ocean, dunes and forest.

Why choose Plage Nord in Biscarrosse to slow down?

An ideal place to walk and contemplate

On the Plage Nord de Biscarrosse, walking becomes a ritual. The sand still fresh from the morning, the steady sound of the waves, the light gliding over the water... many visitors explain that they come here "to clear their heads" before starting their day. The setting, more open than the central beach, is a natural invitation to slow down: no crowds, just wind, space and that immense horizon.

Observing the height of the water at different times of the year, or the variation in winds, also gives you a different view of the coastline: you soon realize that this landscape is constantly changing, which makes every visit a little different.

Our advice: come early in the morning. The beach is quieter, the light softer, and you can enjoy the feeling of being almost alone in front of the ocean.

Although the spot is popular with surfers, the atmosphere remains peaceful. Students from surf schools are often seen training further south, while more experienced surfers wait for the right swell.

On the Plage Nord de Biscarrosse, you don't need to do much: just breathe, feel the power of the waves, let yourself be enveloped by the landscape. It's a beach that's lived gently, in presence and simplicity.

Our tip: in season, the supervised swimming area and first-aid post provide a reassuring setting for enjoying the ocean in complete tranquillity.

Practical information: accessing and enjoying the Plage Nord de Biscarrosse

Before arriving at Plage Nord in Biscarrosse, a few simple points of reference will help you to enjoy the site with complete peace of mind. The site is easily accessible from the resort, but is set back slightly, which contributes to its calmer atmosphere.
