"In February, the temperature at Mimizan ranges from 18 to 23 degrees. It's an amazing experience to soak up the sun and enjoy the sea while witnessing flocks of birds migrating to France, bringing with them the essence of spring through their enchanting melodies that harmonize with the sounds of the ocean."

"This beach is absolutely amazing, although it tends to get crowded during the day. However, the evening sunsets here are truly breathtaking. Lastly, the surf clubs at the end are just fantastic. 🙂❤"
