TOURIST INFORMATION

Formerly known as PORT D’ALBRET, VIEUX-BOUCAU’s touristic vocation established itself in the 30’s. Vieux-Boucau Port d’Albret has shown its wisdom by conserving large natural spaces both in the ocean dunes and the forest and giving human dimensions to the resort. The new touristic ensemble in PORT D’ALBRET built itself up around a 60 hectare sea lake which is accessible by the Mail, a superb pedestrian walkway.

 

In this beautiful area, you can enjoy golf, signposted walks and many miles of cycle paths, nautical sports and swimming at beaches with lifeguards.

You will find tourist information about the area on the following website:
