Plage de Cassy

This beach along the Arcachon Bay stretches next to the oyster port of Cassy, alternating between expansive sand flats at low tide and swimming areas at high tide.

The beach developed alongside the traditional oyster farming activities of Lanton, which originated in the late 19th century when locals established the first wooden oyster huts.

Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices at the adjacent port, selling fresh oysters and seafood directly from their colorful wooden cabins throughout the year.

Visitors find free parking spaces, outdoor showers, accessible toilets, and several restaurants within walking distance, while the beach remains unsupervised for swimming activities.

The beach's location on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route allows visitors to combine seaside relaxation with segments of the historic walking trail.
