Le Penon

It’s also known as Seignosse-Océan. It’s THE lively seaside neighbourhood. This is where you’ll find beachfront accommodation and shops.
Leave your car behind and get about on foot or by bike: that’s what a proper holiday’s all about!
The cycle path known as La Vélodyssée runs right through the neighbourhood. You share it with joggers, rollerbladers and skaters, and everyone gets on together happily. Cycling in Le Penon isn’t just an eco-friendly option – it’s actually much more practical for getting around!

DISCOVER SEIGNOSSE LE PENON

A typical day at Le Penon in summer

Just imagine: you’re sipping your morning coffee on the terrace, newspaper in hand. The children are still asleep. At 10am, everyone hops on their bikes and heads to the market; you do your shopping, have a chat with a local producer, and pop into the tourist office to find out what’s on this week.
In the afternoon, it’s off to the beach or the water park, depending on how you feel. At the end of the day, it’s a leisurely return home; you potter about in front of the shops and spot a restaurant for tomorrow. The towels are hung out to dry, and after dinner with the family, it’s an evening stroll for an ice cream or a cocktail, and you stumble upon a live band playing on a terrace!
Well, that’s a typical day at Le Penon, but of course, there are as many variations as you can imagine!

Two atmospheres to choose from

You can choose accommodation right by the beach and the water park, or a little further back, in a quiet spot under the pine trees. Whether you opt for a holiday flat in a holiday complex or a small family cottage, everything will be less than 10 minutes away by bike.

CENTRAL AND CONVENIENT

so that everything is available on site

All the essential shops, as well as numerous bars, restaurants and boutiques, are concentrated in the Penon district. Some shops are open all year round, whilst others are seasonal and open from April to October. It is also the hub for shuttle buses to Bayonne, Dax and the neighbouring towns of Capbreton and Hossegor. A visit to the Tourist Office, located at the entrance to the neighbourhood, is a must to find out about all the activities and events you can enjoy during your stay.

When it comes to entertainment, summer in Le Penon is very lively, with plenty of concerts on restaurant terraces and free shows every evening of the week for all ages. You’ll love the friendly atmosphere, the kindness of the local shopkeepers, and the cool, laid-back vibe that gives our resort its unique charm.

It’s from Penon beach that you set off on the walk across the dunes. A viewing point offers a spectacular vista: the final peaks of the Pyrenees, the vastness of the ocean and unforgettable sunsets whatever the season.

Le Penon is also renowned for its summer market, one of the largest in the region. Come the warmer months, it takes over Avenue Chambrelent. You can stroll beneath the pine trees in search of fresh produce and souvenirs to take home, whilst chatting to local farmers and craftspeople.

CLOSEST TO THE BEACH

To do everything on foot

Heading to the beach, popping to the market, watching the children skate, enjoying a lovely evening together – if you’re staying at Le Penon, you can do it all on foot! Atlantic Park is the largest water park in the Landes region, and it’s situated right in the heart of the seaside resort.

Don’t miss the big fireworks display in early August. It’s set off from Penon Beach and is a family-friendly event that’s very popular with locals and holidaymakers alike. The beach is directly connected to the shopping centre; parking is free, and there are plenty of bike racks to make life easier if you’ve chosen to get around by bike.
