Plage Sud l'Ecureuil

Plage Sud l'Ecureuil is a sandy beach along the Atlantic coast accessible through wooden boardwalks that cross the dunes to reach the shoreline. The beach features a gentle slope into the water and connects to adjacent beaches through a seaside promenade.

This section of coast developed as a resort destination during the 1960s when tourism infrastructure began shaping the area. The creation of access routes and facilities transformed what was once a quiet shoreline into a regular summer destination.

The beach serves as a gathering place where families and water sports enthusiasts share the same waters and sandy shore. Locals and visitors naturally mix here, creating a lively social hub that defines summer life in the area.

Parking areas and bicycle storage are available near the beach for convenient access, with clearly marked zones for different water activities. Lifeguards are stationed throughout the summer season to watch over swimmers and water sports users.

The sandbars shift with the seasons, creating different conditions for swimmers and surfers throughout the year. What looks one way in summer may be reshaped by winter swells and storms, making each visit slightly different.
