Plage du Grand Crohot, Ocean beach in Lège-Cap-Ferret, France
The sandy beach stretches along several kilometers of Atlantic coastline, bordered by high dunes accessible through wooden walkways.
During World War II, German forces constructed concrete bunkers along this section of coastline, with one structure still visible on the southern part.
The beach serves as a meeting point for local surf communities, where experienced practitioners share their knowledge with newcomers throughout summer months.
A large parking area accommodates 1500 vehicles, while lifeguards monitor swimming areas from June through mid-September between 11:00 and 19:00.
The beach features a designated kitesurfing zone in its southern section, where consistent wind patterns create optimal conditions for the sport.
