Plage du Métro, Beach in Tarnos, France.
Description
Plage du Métro sits at the southern end of the Landes region along the Atlantic coast, with fine sand and natural dunes stretching along the shoreline. The area remains largely undeveloped, maintaining a natural coastal landscape with open views of the ocean.
History
The beach is part of the historic Landes coastline that has maintained its natural character over centuries. The coastal dune system has long defined this landscape and shaped how communities adapted to living in this seaside environment.

The beach adjoins the Barthes de l'Adour nature reserve, where you can observe how locals engage with this protected coastal ecosystem through guided nature walks and conservation efforts.
Practical
The beach is accessible by public bus and has showers and restrooms on-site. Supervised swimming areas operate during the warmer months, and the beach is accessible year-round regardless of weather conditions.
