Plage de Mauret

Plage de Mauret stretches along the Arcachon Basin with pine forests reaching down to the shoreline and fine sandy beaches. The water depth increases gradually, making it suitable for swimming when the tide is high.

The area developed from a traditional oyster farming region, where old oyster parks remain visible at low tide. This heritage of shellfish cultivation shaped how the coastline looks and continues to define the character of this place.

The beach serves as a gathering place where people from the area spend their summer days swimming and relaxing by the water. Visitors can observe how locals enjoy casual seaside time and take part in the informal rhythm of coastal life here.

Swimming is best at high tide when water depth is sufficient for safe bathing. Parking areas are located near Avenue de l'Ocean and Allée du Golf, making access straightforward for visitors.

During colder months, kitesurfers discover this spot due to excellent wind conditions and fewer boats on the water. The quieter season transforms it into a favored location for this particular water sport.
