Plage du Gurp

Plage du Gurp is a sandy beach along the Atlantic coast of Grayan-et-l'Hôpital with broad dunes and natural vegetation. The shoreline extends along the water with space for swimming, walking, and water sports.

The shoreline was fortified during the Second World War as part of German coastal defenses. Concrete bunkers from this period remain visible along the beach today.

The beach draws locals and visitors who come to swim, surf, or spend time by the water in a relaxed coastal setting. It serves as a place where people gather to enjoy the Atlantic waves and open shoreline.

The beach has marked swimming areas with lifeguards and offers showers and restrooms near the entrance. There is parking available and a restaurant on the beach.

The beach connects directly to the Vélodyssée, a cycling route that follows the entire Atlantic coast. Cyclists can explore the shoreline on this long-distance path and visit multiple beaches during their journey.
