General presentation
Côte landaise
Large ocean beaches, dunes, pines, surf, lakes and bike paths.
Hossegor, Biscarrosse and Beaches and surf give the most telling landmarks of the Landes coast. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, forests, shores and lakes and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 8 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: ocean currents to be monitored and summer influx. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Seaside resort
Hossegor
Hossegor holds his personality from the balance between seaside activity and areas of calm, from sand to urban front. The place is best seen by combining coastal view and more intimate walk back to the seafront. The contrast between tourist rhythm and daily details produces a real matter.
Seaside resort
Capbreton
In Capbreton, the water line and coastal roads tell the place better than the windows. A simple walk is enough: follow the coast, slow down at the stopping points, then return to the inside of the site to observe the relationship with the buildings. Light works every surface in its own way.
Seaside resort
Biscarrosse
Biscarrosse It is understood as a crossroads between large areas of sand, water and historical districts. The city reveals its nuances when you change angle, between the seafront and the inner areas. A short walk is enough to grasp this mixture of opening and authenticity in the Landes.
Seaside resort
Mimizan
Mimizan offers a soft frame of coastline and local center, perfect for a non-hurried walk. Views change according to the hour, especially when the light turns on the beaches and pine forests. The main thing comes from the transitions between animation and quiet moments, very legible while walking.
