Plage de Contis, Sand beach in Saint-Julien-en-Born, France
The beach extends for 8 kilometers along the Atlantic coast, featuring fine sand bordered by cork oak forests and maritime pines.
The beach settlement evolved from a 19th-century fishing village into a recreational destination after the construction of the black and white spiral lighthouse.
The Contis International Film Festival takes place annually near the beach, presenting movies from different countries in the local cinema.
Lifeguards monitor the central swimming area from June to September, with facilities including showers, toilets, and special equipment for disabled access.
The lighthouse stands among pine trees rather than at the water's edge, making it the only functioning inland lighthouse in the Landes department.
