Mimizan-Plage: Holiday Apartments and Houses
Beach and Water
Plage du Courant has a smoke-free beach. The beaches of Mimizan are supervised from May to September. Plage du Courant is accessible to people with reduced mobility with two Tiralo beach wheelchairs.
At low tide, the mouth of the Courant de Mimizan forms wide sandbanks that are popular with families. The Courant de Mimizan can be explored along the riverside paths, by bicycle, or on the water by canoe and paddleboard.
