The 150 beaches of the Girondin coast and the Arcachon basin, will indeed be able to reopen, as early as Saturday morning at 6 a.m., confirmed the prefect of the Gironde who gave the green light to the mayors who made the request. But there will be restrictions. In particular, it will be necessary to respect the code of the famous “dynamic range. "
The city of Lacanau, which pushed strongly to obtain this reopening, is in the starting blocks since this Friday morning, to better prepare the reception of the public this weekend. With the return of good weather, it may indeed face a strong influx of people on Saturday and Sunday.
"People especially want to go for a walk and it is going well"
For this, it recruits volunteer ambassadors to raise awareness of the rules and challenges of dynamic beach. “The ambassadors will criss-cross the city and the beach from 10 am to 6 pm, to raise awareness and educate, to remind them to respect barrier gestures, and to stay active on the beach: run, swim, walk” insists- do we at the town hall. “It is not the police who will complement it. If things go wrong, the ambassadors will not intervene, but will notify their on-call number. But there is no reason for it to degenerate, people especially want to go for a walk on the beach and that it goes well. "
The beaches will open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. “We obtained an opening at 6 am instead of 9 am, because we managed to convince that there are a lot of people who surf before going to work, depending on the tides, the waves. We also asked for an opening until 9 p.m., because these people also like to go surfing in the evening, but we did not succeed because the prefecture is afraid of wild aperitifs. So at 7 p.m. we will evacuate the beach and we will put down the barriers. "
Jet-ski to accompany surfers, and equestrian brigade
In the morning, "a jet ski will accompany the surfers so that they do not stay glued to each other". In addition, an equestrian brigade composed of two horses has been created by the municipality, and will cross the seafront.
There will also be facilities to organize traffic. “There will be senses reserved for going up the beach, others for going down. there may be upward and downward directions on the same staircase, but it will then be necessary to keep distances of one meter. Everything will be installed this Friday afternoon and in the evening.
"We will manage" ensures the municipality, which however implores the public to respect the instructions. “It has to go well, we insist at the town hall, because if there is a malfunction we take the risk of seeing the beaches closed again. "
