Plage du Betey, Sandy beach in Andernos-les-Bains, France.
Plage du Betey is a beach along the Bay of Arcachon featuring sandy and pebbly sections bordered by natural woodland. The shoreline extends with varied terrain offering different conditions across its length.
The beach developed as Andernos-les-Bains grew into a coastal resort during the 20th century in the Gironde department. This growth period shaped the area into what it is today.
The beach serves as a gathering place where locals engage in volleyball, fishing, and summer events. These everyday activities shape the character of the location throughout the warmer season.
The beach provides showers, restrooms, parking areas, and barbecue spots near the adjacent marina. Visitors should watch for tidal patterns as they significantly affect the available beach space.
During low tide, the beach expands greatly, revealing wide sandy areas with tidal pools. Children can explore and collect shells in these newly exposed zones during the tides' natural cycle.
