Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains is part of the Site Inscrit des Etangs Landais Sud, a nationally recognised designation reflecting the area’s diverse heritage qualities. The lac marin de Port d’Albret stretches across Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains and Soustons; its seasonally supervised beach provides access to the Atlantic in an area protected from the waves.

Nature

An educational trail has been created in the southern part of the island in the lac marin de Port d’Albret, where visitors can discover the local fauna and flora. The Sentier de la Palombière is one of two forest discovery trails created by the municipality in Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains.

The Mail André Rigal is a pedestrian promenade that connects the town centre with the lac marin de Port d’Albret along the Courant de Moïsan.

Getting around

A section of La Vélodyssée passes through Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains. The Petit train de vos vacances provides free seasonal transport in July and August between the town centre of Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains, the beaches and the Fronton.

Culture

The Église Saint-Clément dates back to 1632 and contains paintings depicting biblical scenes in the nave.

The Arènes Joseph Laudouat were built in 1964 and host non-lethal bullfighting demonstrations, Landes races, concerts and other festive events. The Fronton de Vieux-Boucau hosts demonstrations of Basque pelota and other events regularly throughout the year.

Every year during the February school holidays, Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains celebrates the Fête de la Coustille et du bois flotté, based on the old tradition of collecting items washed ashore from the ocean.
