Plage de Saint-Brice, Sand beach in Arès, France.
Description
Plage de Saint-Brice is a sand beach in Arès along the Arcachon Basin with a specially designed swimming basin that fills during high tide. The basin ensures safe swimming conditions throughout the day without depending on tidal rhythms.
History
The beach was reshaped in recent times to convert this section of the Arcachon Basin coast into a swimming area for local people. This transformation turned it into a destination for water recreation and leisure.
Culture
Oyster farming shapes the bay's character, with traditional boats moving between cultivation beds throughout the day. This working trade forms part of the daily rhythm along this shore.
Practical
The beach has showers, picnic tables, and free parking available to visitors. Lifeguards watch over swimmers from mid-June through mid-September for added safety.

A reading area with book-sharing boxes nestled under pine trees invites visitors to borrow titles while near the water. This simple setup lets people exchange books as part of their beach day.
