Hossegor, in the Landes, is one of Europe’s best-known surf spots. This part of Soorts-Hossegor, set between a marine lake and the ocean, enjoys powerful waves on its beaches, such as La Gravière, which regularly host international competitions and surfers from around the world.
Beyond surfing, Hossegor charms with its natural setting: the marine lake, fed by the tides and shaded by pines along its shores, suits paddleboarding and kayaking, while the Landes forest offers trails for biking or walking. The resort’s surf shops, restaurants and bars enliven summer evenings.
Close to Capbreton and Seignosse, Hossegor can be visited on a sporty or family stay, with surf schools for all levels. Spring and autumn are the ideal times for waves, with gentler crowds than in high summer.
