Plage centrale d'Hourtin, Coastal beach in Lacanau, France
The central beach of Hourtin stretches for kilometers along the Atlantic coast, featuring wide sandy shores bordered by natural dunes and forest paths.
The beach area was once home to the ancient town of Luzerne, which now lies beneath the sand due to coastal transformations over centuries.
Local residents gather at the beach during summer evenings to participate in traditional regional festivities, sharing meals and playing music near the water.
The beach provides monitored swimming zones during summer months, with lifeguards, first aid stations, showers, and parking facilities for visitors.
At low tide, remnants of the submerged town of Luzerne become visible along certain sections of the shoreline.
