Cycle Path from Saint-Julien to Contis Plage

Highlight • Cycleway

The bike path falls into disrepair right next to the busy road to Contis Plage. Definitely recommended as the road sometimes gets narrower and the cars get too close. In the summer a lot of beach bikes.

Contis Lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Contis lighthouse is the only lighthouse in the Landes department. Commissioned in 1863, it stands 41.5 meters high 860 meters from the shore.

The lighthouse was painted with a double white and black stripe in 1937, so that it could be used for daytime navigation.

This lighthouse, which also serves as a radio relay, can be visited for 3 euros per person.

Towards the Contis-Plage lighthouse

Highlight • Other

This perfectly paved cycle path leads to the pretty Contis-Plage lighthouse on a slight climb. You can see the black and white stripes of the tower looming a little further away.

Mimizan–Contis Forest Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

One of the most beautiful cycle paths through the pine forests along the coast that I know. Always slightly undulating, never boring due to the varied landscape and very good road surface.

Contis Beach

Highlight • Other

I like the atmosphere of Contis Plage, which changes throughout the day.
During the day, the various bars offer the opportunity for a quick café with a great view of the sea. At dusk you can take a stroll and enjoy an ice cream or more before driving home.
