The Trans-Aquitaine Canal ends here at the Cazaux-Sanguinet pond. A charming place to stop by during bike rides between Biscarosse and Parentis.

The beach of the Étang de Cazaux-Sanguinet, nestled between pine forests and calm waters, is an ideal haven of peace for families and nature lovers. With its fine sand and shallow waters, it offers a perfect setting for swimming, especially for children. The pond, with its clear and warm waters, is also ideal for paddle boarding, sailing or canoeing. Surrounded by paths and cycle paths, this beach is a great place for a relaxing day in the heart of nature, far from the hustle and bustle of ocean beaches.

A ribbon that you can leave and rejoin to enjoy the paths in the forest, appreciable in summer, part of the journey is "sunny" 😉 Depending on your time of passage, you will be able to have great encounters with the wildlife... and enjoy the calm before "peak attendance" after 9 a.m....or much later (in summer 😁)

Even now in September it still gets up to 34°C during the day. So do the tour as early as possible, because the route from Biscarrosse du Lac -B/Plage over the wooded dune landscape is worth it.
