Lac d'Hossegor, Marine lake in Soorts-Hossegor, France

The Lac d'Hossegor connects directly to the Atlantic Ocean through tidal movements, creating a natural water circulation system throughout the day.

The development of Soorts-Hossegor's lake area began in the 1920s when the first villas were constructed along its shores, establishing its recreational character.

Local residents gather at the lake's edge for weekly markets where fishermen sell fresh catches and artisans display traditional Basque crafts.

The lake features multiple supervised beaches with designated swimming areas, parking facilities, and rental services for water sports equipment.

The lake's tidal system creates varying water levels that expose different shoreline landscapes and attract diverse bird species throughout the day.
