To name a few regional classics: Messanges, Vieux Boucau, Les Casernes, Le Penon, Les Bourdaines, Les Estagnots, Culs Nuls, La Gravière, La Nord, La Sud, Le Prevent, Santocha, VVW, La Piste...etc. The guys from the surf guest house know when and which break is on.
We offer a package with the following two deals:
- Crash Course Surf Deal - Included is one surf lesson à 2h, including surf equipment.
