Bourg des Landes, Seignosse is located in the New Aquitaine region, between the Landes forest and Maremne. It has access to the Atlantic Ocean through its classified seaside resort, Seignosse Océan. With its famous surf spots, the town is located not far from Hossegor, another popular destination in the region.
Village des Landes, with traditional architecture, Seignosse enjoys appreciable calm throughout the year. Its seaside resort offers an important tourist attraction from the beginning of the summer period, revealing a warm family animation.
In addition to its dream beaches, Seignosse has an interesting architectural heritage, as well as a strong attachment to traditions that can be found in particular through the Landes gastronomy served in abundance in the town.
The seaside resort of Seignosse-Océan is surely one of the main tourist attractions of this Landes commune. Classified, it takes place approximately five kilometers from Seignosse-Bourg, on the banks of the Atlantic Ocean. Developed in the 1970s, it offers four beaches which extend over approximately six kilometers, from South to North the Estagnots beach, the Bourdaines beach, the Penon beach, the former name of the resort and the Barracks beach. The Penon district is also home to the largest water park in all of Landes, Atlantic Park. There we discover 3000 m² of heated pools with multi-track slides, whirlpool baths, a spa, kamikaze slides, a counter-current river, or even beach volleyball courts and inflatable structures for children.
Another major asset of the city, its maritime pine forest, which covers a large part of Seignosse. It extends between Seignosse-Océan and Seignosse-Bourg, offering six hiking trails to discover the different species that populate the Landes forest. When the sunny days arrive, the smell of pine trees and the song of cicadas delight the senses.
In the village, you will appreciate the architecture of the Saint-André church built during the 13th century. Partly destroyed during the Terror, the building reveals a beautiful Gothic-style Angoulême stone bell tower. At the entrance to the village you will find a pretty wash house, a source of shade and coolness on hot days, it is pleasantly decorated with flowers. Very close by, the Etang Noir Nature Reserve is a classified site. The Reserve is home to many species specific to wet and marshy environments, dragonflies, pond turtles, otters and a wide variety of birds. A wooden pontoon takes you as close as possible to the black pond, you will cross a shaded area thanks to dense green vegetation.
