The Pin Sec Beach in Hourtin

A wild beach hidden in the middle of a pine forest in Hourtin, this spot where the calm of nature is ever present. But not only that! Well known for its historical side with the World War II bunkers that add a crazy charm to this site, you will be amazed! Especially since it covers sandbanks galore, allowing you to surf in peace!

The Barrier at Lacanau

Thanks to the Lacanau Pro competition in 1979, this site has become the unrivaled surfing spot in Gironde. Because Lacanau is full of multiple surf spots, some like La Barrière can only be accessed by foot or bike, making the session even more charming. No doubt here: the tubular waves define the identity of this beach.

Carcans Plage

Hey there wave lovers, welcome to Carcans Plage! No disappointment here, the tubular waves are a guarantee. Just 15 minutes away from Lacanau, this spot has it all: quality sandbanks, tranquility, and untamed nature. Considered one of the best sites in Gironde, now you know why!

The port of Saint-Pardon, in Vayres

For those who are tired of surfing the ocean, why not take your board to Vayres, just 36 minutes from Bordeaux, and ride the waves on the Dordogne River. Yes, it's possible! Thanks to the tidal bore (where the rising tide meets the downstream current of the river), you can enjoy a long, fast wave and an amusing sensation!

Gressier Beach, Le Porge

Located particularly close to the Bordeaux metropolis, Le Porge is one of the iconic destinations for surfers! Considered as one of the best spots in Gironde, the waves are there to offer you ultimate fun-filled days near Bordeaux. All in a setting where nature has kept all its rights. Here, whether you are a beginner or advanced, you will surely enjoy, that's for sure!
