Our opinion on the Corniche Beach

Adresse of the Corniche Beach : 40 Av Louis Gaume 33115 Pyla sur Mer

Corniche Beach in Pyla sur Mer is located at the foot of the Dune du Pilat, across from the Banc d'Arguin a the entrance of the Bassin d'Arcachon. In our opinion, it is the most original beach in the region, and the most beautiful in Pyla sur Mer. There is a lifeguard in the summer (first-aid station north of the Dune). We also find a snack bar near the beach on the path leading to the beach.

To get here from Arcachon, take avenue de l'Ocean then avenue Louis Gaume. At the sharp curve, you will find stairs that lead to the beach (there are also some parking spots). At the bottom of the stairs, take a left on the cement path. The beach is at the end (about 150 meters).

Note that it's possible to climb the Dune du Pilat from this beach which allows you to avoid paying for parking at the Dune de Pyla (however, there is not a nice staircase!).
