Plage d'Eyrac Beach, Arcachon
East of the main Plage d'Arcachon close to the marina and port
A small, peaceful and tranquil beach that is situated at the entrance to the marina and is the most sheltered of all the beaches around Arcachon due to its location within the basin.
Once the good weather arrives in the spring this beach starts to become popular with sunbathers trying to grab the first few rays, and it's a great stopping point for walkers who are enjoying the the sights of the oceanic basin.
The waters here are clear blue and the sand very fine and white. Due to the width of the beaches running along the stretch, there is certainly plenty of space for everyone so it should never feel too crowded.
A great beach to enjoy with kids...make sure they have their fishing nets with them as there is an abundance of crabs, muscles and eels to play with.
