Mimizan: a hike to reconnect between forest, dunes and ocean

A word of advice: get the free topoguide at the tourist office! Discover forest management, the flora of the forest and the dune, the fauna (birds, squirrels, lizards, European pond turtles, etc.), whales in the forest (elongated dunes in formation), wetlands with ponds and coastal features (beach, dune, lette, edge of the forest). Will you be able to find the botanical markers?

Here, everything is done to preserve the naturalness of the place, so you will see scrub and dead trees which contribute to biodiversity.

Take a moment to relax at the Maillouèyre pond and its bird observatory. Along the way, a lookout also offers a beautiful view of the ocean and the forest.
