Fridays rain started to subside as we drove to Mimizan and when we finally got to Camping Marina at around 3pm blue skies started to emerge. Campsite Marina is big and bold but again at this time of the year it only gets busy at weekends. There is an indoor and an outside pool, both quite large and bars and restaurant. We found a nice shaded and quiet spot.
The beach was as I remembered it from previous visits vast and empty with gorgeous fine sand that squeeks as you walk on it. At 18c it was warm enough for a dip and I enjoyed jumping the Atlantic surf but missed not having a surf board with me.

The other thing we can't really ignore commenting on is the prices in France compared to Spain. Here we paid 7 euros for two coffees compared to 2 euros in Spain. Beer here is 6 euros for half a litre, Spain 2 euros 30 cents. A 3 course meal with wine for two here would set you back something in the region of 60 euros, in Spain 32 euros. So anyone wishing to get value for money would probably be best to travel the extra miles to Spain.
