Arnaoutchot Camping
This campsite is nestled in the heart of the Landes and more specifically in the...In the middle of the pine trees. Nothing better to connect with nature! Here, it's really the spirit of a small village. Kindness and good mood reign over the camp. Plus, the nudist beach is directly accessible from the domain. Those who are not big fans of the beach can enjoy the pools of the aquatic area. It is vast, pleasant, and has a heated pool. Very useful for having fun, relaxing, or even exercising. Not to forget the spa to release the pressure. Sports, nature, manual, and cultural activities are organized such as hiking, discovering local wildlife and flora, or visiting the permaculture garden. Here, there are standard pitches with or without electricity or premium pitches with nearby sanitary facilities. And a new addition, the wellness area! What are you waiting for to discover it?
This beach is very popular among tourists. It's not surprising when you see the number of facilities available to the public. The CAP33 program, supported by the Gironde department, offers a variety of sports activities. Initiations and tournaments are organized. Are you good at beach volleyball, beach tennis, football, or even African dance? The beach is supervised during the two summer months. Public restrooms and picnic tables are available. The naturist area is located to the south of the beach.
Even though it's the furthest beach from the city center, it's definitely one of the most stunning. Usually empty, it's the perfect place to be alone facing the sunset. To access it, you can park at the Lion parking lot and walk or bike there. It's not an official nudist beach, but go ahead, there's nobody around! However, the beach is not supervised and the ocean is rough in this area, so it's better not to go swimming.
