Plage de la Gravière
Plage de la Gravière is a sandy beach located on the Atlantic coast in Soorts-Hossegor, France, with a gentle slope toward the water. The shoreline features different zones suited for swimming and water sports activities.
The beach was originally a fishing area before the region developed into a beach resort in the 20th century. The area grew through promotion of water sports like surfing.
The water is warm enough for comfortable swimming during summer months, though waves can be fairly strong throughout the year. Visitors should watch for currents and check with lifeguards if unsure of conditions.
The beach is a known spot for beginner and advanced surfers because the waves here are particularly reliable. You will often find surf schools and specialized equipment shops on the sand.
