Pereire Beach, Coastal beach and sports venue in Arcachon, France.
Pereire Beach extends for three kilometers along Arcachon Bay, featuring fine white sand and clear waters with views of Cap Ferret peninsula.
The beach development started with the creation of Boulevard de la Mer, which connected the central district to Le Moulleau neighborhood in the early 1900s.
Morning fitness sessions, including yoga and tai chi, bring together locals and visitors during summer months on the beach's wide sandy expanses.
The beach provides facilities such as showers, water points, lifeguard service from June to September, and adjacent free parking areas.
At low tide, natural sand pools form between sandbars, creating protected areas for swimming separate from the main waters of Arcachon Bay.

The Bassin d'Arcachon covers 155 square kilometers along the French Atlantic coast and offers numerous subjects for photography. The Dune du Pilat rises 110 meters above sea level and forms the tallest sand dune in Europe. Oyster farming villages such as Gujan-Mestras, L'Herbe, and Le Canon display wooden huts on stilts distributed along the shores. The Cap Ferret peninsula separates the basin from the Atlantic and presents long sandy beaches on both sides. The Cap Ferret lighthouse from 1947 reaches a height of 53 meters. The Île aux Oiseaux sits in the center of the basin and hosts two traditional stilt cabins, the Cabanes Tchanquées, which are surrounded by water at high tide. The town of Arcachon displays 19th-century villas in the Ville d'Hiver, a district with over 300 buildings in Belle Époque style. The Domaine de Certes et Graveyron nature reserve includes former salt marshes and fish ponds now inhabited by herons, spoonbills, and other water birds. The beaches of Pereire and Pyla-sur-Mer provide direct views of the basin and nearby pine forests.
