Plage de la Garluche, Atlantic coast beach in Mimizan, France.
The wide sandy beach extends along the coastline of Mimizan, featuring natural dunes and pine forests that border the sandy area.
The beach area developed as a seaside destination during the 19th century when the French railway network connected Mimizan to major cities.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at the beach, using specific nets and techniques passed down through generations.
The beach includes showers, restrooms, bicycle parking, and a designated swimming area supervised by lifeguards during summer months.
The beach permits dogs on leashes throughout the year, making it one of the few pet-friendly coastal areas in the Landes region.
