Plage Nord

Plage Nord is a swimming beach along the Atlantic coast of Mimizan with fine sand backed by natural dunes. The shoreline extends for several kilometers and is bordered by pine forests that reach inland from the water's edge.

The beach was developed as a holiday destination in the early 20th century when railway connections made the coast accessible. Since then it has grown steadily as a place where visitors return year after year.

The beach draws surfers and swimmers who gather year-round to enjoy the Atlantic waves and coastal life. Local communities have built traditions around these waters that continue to shape how people spend their time here.

The beach has monitored swimming areas, showers, restrooms, and several entry points spread along its length. Parking is available near the main access points, and you can rent equipment for water sports on site.

This location is recognized as a regional hub for surfing because of reliable wave conditions that attract competitions. Visitors will notice the dedicated infrastructure and passionate community that has developed around this sport.
