The 7 most beautiful swimming spots on the Basque and Landes coasts

Each PINUA model is named after a place on the Atlantic coast. This is no coincidence: it's where the brand was born, nestled between pine trees, dunes, and the ocean. Here's our itinerary of the 7 spots that inspire us — and the swimsuit we'd wear there.

1. Cap Ferret

Facing the Dune du Pilat, between the calm waters of the bay and the waves of the ocean. Laid-back elegance personified — just like our FERRET triangle top.

2. Pyla-sur-Mer

Swimming at the foot of Europe's highest dune, with guaranteed golden light at the end of the day. You can get an even tan there with the PYLA bandeau top, naturally.

3. Arcachon

The piers, the cabins, the calm waters of the bay: perfect for morning paddleboarding. The ARCA bralette is right at home here.

4. Biscarrosse

Between freshwater lakes and the ocean, two swims in one day. Comfort first and foremost, just like the BISCA bottom.

5. Soorts-Hossegor

THE European surfing capital. Big beach breaks, a sporty atmosphere, and sunset at Rock Food. The high-waisted SOORTS Brazilian bottom got its name here.

6. Anglet and the Pignada Forest

Eleven beaches lined up between pine trees and the ocean, wilder than neighboring Biarritz. The spirit of the PIGNADA thong: natural and daring.

7. Saint-Jean-de-Luz

The large sheltered bay, the red and white Basque facades, and turquoise water on lucky days. Refined like the LUZ one-piece.

Bonus route: allow 2.5 hours by car from Cap Ferret to Saint-Jean-de-Luz along the coast. The perfect road trip — and with reversible swimsuits, your suitcase is half as light. The entire collection is on sale up to -40% →
