MIMIZAN PLAGE

​

Mimizan is one of the most popular seaside resorts on France's stunning Atlantic coast, located in the Landes region and renowned for its long sandy beaches, excellent surfing, beautiful pine forests and relaxed holiday atmosphere. Divided between Mimizan-Plage on the coast and the historic town of Mimizan inland, it is a favourite destination for families, couples, surfers and outdoor enthusiasts. Our airport transfer service provides comfortable, reliable transport from Bordeaux Airport, with a journey time of approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, and from Biarritz Airport, approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on traffic. We offer direct transfers to hotels, campsites, holiday villages, surf camps, apartments and private villas throughout Mimizan.

Mimizan is famous for its excellent surfing conditions, attracting visitors from across Europe throughout the season. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced surfer, local surf schools offer lessons, coaching and board hire for all abilities. Popular schools include Mimizan Surf Academy, La Garluche Surf School and Plage Sud Surf School, all offering group lessons, private coaching and equipment rental during the summer months.

The resort's main beaches are supervised by qualified lifeguards throughout the main holiday season, providing designated swimming areas for families and visitors. The beaches proudly fly the Blue Flag award for their cleanliness and facilities. As with all Atlantic beaches, visitors should swim between the safety flags, follow lifeguard guidance and remain aware of changing tides and ocean currents.
