Lacanau
Lacanau (and the resort of Lacanau Ocean) are located on the coast to the north of Arcachon, north-west from Bordeaux.
It is a pleasant place to stay, a clean modern resort with the focus of course on outdoor activities, sports, and relaxation.
The beach is 14 km long, great for all the family, and for a variety of watersports - like many of the beaches along this part of the Atlantic, Lacanau is popular with surfers and an annual world class surfing competition is also held here. For those of you wanting to learn to surf there are courses available.
If you want some time away from the beach, or if the waves are a bit too big for the children, there is also a very large lake between Lacanau and Lacanau Ocean, for sailing, windsurfing, and with a couple of lake beaches.
Because of the lake and forest setting, Lacanau is well placed for walking, nature hikes, cycling etc - there are numerous marked walks and cycle paths in the region, and horse riding is also available.
There are also an 18 hole golf course and two 9 hole golf courses close to hand in attractive settings for golf enthusiasts.
