Lacanau Nord
10 Kaiya Okafor

The beach is stunning, but it's advisable to bring an umbrella.

Lacanau Sud
10 Ethan Donovan

The beach was clean and pleasant. However, during our visit, the waves were quite strong and close to the shore, which made it difficult for children to play safely. We made sure to stay within the designated blue flag areas to avoid any potential danger from the current.

Carcans Beach
10 Gavin Franklin

This beach has a fantastic atmosphere. Occasionally, the waves can be big, so it's important to keep an eye on children. However, there are diligent lifeguards on duty. The food can be a bit expensive, so it's a good idea to bring your own snacks or be willing to pay for the amazing views, ample space, and delightful soft sand.
