Day at Hourtin-Carcans lake
Médoc Atlantique is the perfect family holiday destination! Lake Hourtin-Carcans is no exception to the rule with activities to enjoy with your children.

The beach of Piqueyrot
Located on the edge of the lake of Hourtin-Carcans, the beach of Piqueyrot is a small paradise. Swimming is supervised, ideal for children and the water is warmer than the ocean! For the more sporty, there is the possibility to rent a paddle, kayak or canoe. Explore the wild coastline of the lake, only accessible by sea.
Lunch at Hourtin-Port
Head to Hourtin-Port for lunch. Enjoy the shaded terraces overlooking the charming marina. A few metres away, the children's island, a car-free area surrounded by water, with its mysterious castle! You can also enjoy the Splash Park, a water park ideal for a unique moment with family or friends!
Kitesurf and beach

There are two main areas to practice: the spot of Lachanau and the spot of Hourtin-Port. If you prefer to bask in the sun, enjoy the spectacle of this aerial ballet of sails. It's a rainbow of colours in the sky!
