When are the beach monitoring dates?

Beach lifeguard services operate from May to October. Penon Beach is supervised by lifeguards from the first weekends in May until October, whilst the other beaches are supervised between June and September. Check with the Tourist Office or visit Plages-Landes.info .

Can I take my dog to the beach?

In Seignosse, on our four beaches, dogs are not permitted in the so-called ‘restricted areas’ during the period and at the times when lifeguards are on duty ( generally from May to October ). Please look out for the triangular signs on the dunes with orange and black horizontal stripes. Beyond these signs, you may sit on the beach with your dog on a lead. Outside the period from May to October, you may walk your dog on a lead on the beach. However, please respect the environment and the cleanliness of our public and natural spaces by bringing a poo bag.

Where are the rip currents?

Rip currents are present to a greater or lesser extent on all the beaches in the Landes, and they appear and disappear with the tide. To find out more about this phenomenon and the correct behaviour to adopt, we invite you to watch Jamy’s video – it’s very informative! Rest assured when swimming: the lifeguards are aware of these currents and adjust the swimming area so that you can enjoy yourself in complete safety. As a matter of common sense, you should never swim outside the supervised areas.

Can you ride a fat bike on the beach?

Fat biking on the beach is becoming more popular, but caution is advised: outside lifeguard hours, you may cycle along the beach at low tide. We recommend doing this early in the morning so as not to disturb walkers. During the summer, once the beaches are under supervision, you can still do so, but only outside the supervised hours, which vary throughout the season. Check in advance with the Tourist Office or on Plages-Landes.info

Is there a charge for parking?

Good news! All car parks in the town of Seignosse are free!

Can I park my motorhome near the beach?

You can park during the day at certain car parks (Penon, Agréou and Casernes), but please note that overnight parking is strictly prohibited. You will need to go to the motorhome site or one of the campsites to spend the night.

All you need to know

on our beaches

An unspoilt coastline and a variety of atmospheres

To reach some of Seignosse’s beaches, you’ll need to climb a small dune: it’s well worth the effort – once you reach the top, the view ofthe endless ocean will immediately reward you!

Each beach in Seignosse has its own character and identity. You’ll soon find the one that suits you best: livelier, quieter, wilder, more central… One thing all the town’s beaches have in common is that they all offer a natural spectacle of striking beauty!

Here, there’s something for everyone. Surfers come to tackle the famous waves, families enjoy the supervised swimming areas, whilst walkers savour long strolls with their feet in the sand, lulled by the sound of the waves.

Facilities, comfort and safety – everything’s taken care of

For your convenience, there are beachside restaurants, surf schools andtoilet facilities on each of our beaches, as well as lifeguards keeping an eye on you whilst you have a splash about in the waves!
In fact, some of our beaches are lifeguard-supervised for a long period, from May to October, from the first sunny days right through to the Indian summer!

Our beaches also hold the ‘Qualité Tourisme’ label, a guarantee of safety, accessibility and a warm welcome for everyone.
The beaches at Les Estagnots and Le Penon have also been awarded the Blue Flag, a recognition of the measures taken to ensure water quality and protect the environment.

The beach, from sunrise to sunset

Here, we live and breathe the beach all year round!

As the day progresses, the light transforms the scenery. The first light of dawn reveals a peaceful beach, ideal for a moment of relaxation or a yoga session facing the ocean. At the end of the day, the sun sets ablaze the horizon, offering the spectacular sunsets for which Seignosse is renowned.

A bike ride or a surf session in the early morning, sunbathing in the afternoon, and aperitifs and tapas with friends in a beach hut – this is the eco-cool lifestyle you’ll share with us.

The Seignosse attitude

at the beach

Our beaches are smoke-free and zero-waste! Embrace the Seignosse spirit and leave no trace of your visit to the beach: no rubbish, no cigarette ends.

The beach is not a public park; it is a natural, living space that changes with the tides and storms. The dune, visible on all our beaches, is our bulwark against the ocean’s onslaught. It is essential that we preserve and look after it; to avoid trampling the vegetation, please only use the designated paths leading to the bathing areas.
