THE OCEAN AND THE LANDES, A GREAT LOVE STORY !

SECURITY AND SIGNALLING
Safety is taken very seriously in the Landes. While the ocean is a treasure, it can also be dangerous for novices or if certain rules are not followed. To avoid any problems as tourist numbers rise, safety posts have been set up on most beaches and bathing areas are designated by lifeguards during the summer months.
To preserve the wild fauna and flora of the Landes, it is important to respect the signage and information signs scattered around sensitive areas. For example, it is forbidden to walk on the dunes, pick plants in the sand or build campfires on the edge of the forest. On beaches, it is also important to respect the flags indicating whether or not bathing is permitted.
