La Lette Blanche - Vielle

La Lette Blanche is a beach in Vielle-Saint-Girons featuring a wooden walkway that crosses pine forests before reaching wide expanses of sand sloping down to the Atlantic Ocean. The shoreline stretches long and open, backed by natural dunes and coastal vegetation.

The beach became part of the Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park when the park was established in 1970 to protect the region's coastal and forest ecosystems. This designation has helped maintain the landscape's natural character throughout the following decades.

The beach serves as a gathering place for swimmers and beach walkers, drawing locals and visitors who share a passion for coastal life. People come here throughout the year to connect with the ocean and experience the rhythm of the tides.

The beach has lifeguard supervision and facilities including showers and restrooms during July and August, though services are reduced outside these months. A specialized wheelchair allows easier access to the water and shoreline for visitors with mobility needs.

The beach sits on the EuroVelo cycling route, a long-distance European bike path that connects this coastal spot to a network spanning multiple countries. Cyclists can ride through pine forests to reach the shore as part of their wider continental journey.
