Moliets Plage, on the southwest coast of France, is known for its wide sandy beaches, strong Atlantic waves, and relaxed surf atmosphere. Surrounded by pine forests and dunes, it offers a picturesque natural setting. Close to Moliets-et-Maa, the Courant d'Huchet provides stunning views where the river meets the ocean. This protected nature reserve, often called the little Amazon of the Landes, features winding waterways, lush vegetation, and diverse wildlife. From the dunes, the estuary offers a striking contrast between the calm river and the vast Atlantic. The area is perfect for nature walks, photography, and peaceful boat tours through marshes and forests.

Photography Tips

Capture the contrast between the calm river and the ocean with a wide-angle lens. Use the golden hour for soft light on the landscape. Focus on reflections in the water for added depth. Frame shots with the surrounding pine trees and dunes to add interest. A drone can offer stunning aerial views of the estuary and coastline. Keep an eye on the wildlife for spontaneous shots. Use a polarizer to reduce glare from the water and enhance colors.
