Plage des Océanides, Ocean beach in Capbreton, France.
Plage des Océanides is an Atlantic beach with fine sand and dunes where strong waves regularly meet the shore. The coastline shows a gradual shift from wide sand flats to rocky formations.
The shore holds concrete structures from the Atlantic Wall, fortifications built during World War Two. Today these structures display contemporary street art created by local artists.
The beach marks where the flat sandy shores of Landes give way to the rocky coastline of Basque Country. Locals and visitors experience this transition as a natural border between two distinct coastal regions.
Lifeguards are on duty from June through September offering safety for swimmers. The beach has showers, restrooms, and a snack bar near the surveillance station.
The beach sits south of regulated zones creating particular wave conditions year-round. These specific conditions draw experienced surfers to the water at any time of year.
