Andernos-les-Bains consists of four other small communities: Taussat, Cassy, Lanton and Audenge. All these villages have oyster farms and small fisheries. For many years, the oyster and fishing industry provided the main income to the area. More recently, tourism has become a strong economic factor in the area.

The bay's Portuguese oysters died out during 1970-1972 because of gill disease. In 1974 another oyster, the Pacific oyster, developed a disease caused by the paint used on fishing boats. An oil tanker spill in 1978 further damaged the oyster industry, which continued to suffer around the bay until 1981. Since 2000 the oyster industry has been recovering and now nearly 15,000 metric tons are produced per year.

Andernos-les-Bains has a 5.4 kilometres (3.4 miles) long sand beach.
