Surfing in the Landes
Hossegor, Seignosse and Capbreton
The world-famous surfing village par excellence, Hossegor plays host every year to the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro, important stages in the World Surfing Championships. Although it’s possible to start surfing at Hossegor, the resort is aimed more at intermediate to very experienced surfers. But that doesn’t mean you can’t watch the pro surfers in action.
Hossegor’s neighbor Seignosse, like Capbreton, is more suitable for all levels.
