Plage de l'Horizon, Ocean beach in Lège-Cap-Ferret, France
The Plage de l'Horizon stretches along the Atlantic coast with fine sand and natural dunes forming a barrier between the beach and inland areas.
The beach area contains several World War II defense structures embedded within the dunes, reflecting the Atlantic Wall fortification system from the 1940s.
Local fishermen and oyster farmers maintain their traditional activities near the beach, contributing to the regional maritime heritage of the Gironde department.
A small train service operates during summer months from the ferry terminal to the beach entrance, where lifeguards supervise swimming areas from June to September.
The beach features an emergency call station and specific zones marked by flags that indicate safe swimming areas due to strong ocean currents.
