Lac Marin

Highlight • Lake

One of the most remarkable gems of the Landes region is the Port d'Albret marine lake, located between Vieux-Boucau and Soustons Plage, which connects the town center of Vieux-Boucau to the ocean. The colors and scents change at every hour of the day, and several leisure activities are available.
Vieux Boucau, meaning "old mouth" (in Gascon "Lo Bocau Vielh"), was once the Port d'Albret. It could still be the leading port on the Landes coast if the Adour River hadn't been diverted in 1578 for the benefit of Bayonne. Thus, in the spring of 1975, a Dutch dredger arrived by sea to dig the canal and the marine lake. By May 1976, the essential system for feeding and draining the lake was in place. Since then, a whole tourist complex has been built around the marine lake.

Vieux-Boucau Marine Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Vieux-Boucau marine lake is located very close to the ocean as well as the town center of the seaside resort. Its beaches and water activities contrast with the island reserved for birds in its middle.

An old train station that is now a bistro. Definitely worth a stop in sunny, warm weather.
