Holidays in Lacanau
Between lake and ocean
It has to be said that the beaches of Lacanau are unique… The main attraction of this daughter of the Atlantic, for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts, is that the calm waters of Lake of Lacanau can be added to the lively, supervised ocean beaches. In a bubble of unspoilt nature, you can rediscover the simple pleasures of a picnic between two swims and enjoy water sports activities for all the family: sailing, canoeing, pedal-boating, stand-up paddle, water-skiing, wakeboarding and even kitesurfing. In the shade of the pine trees, happiness is all around you!
On the ocean beaches, you can choose your bathing ambience according to your mood for the day: do you fancy meeting new people? Or would you prefer to relax in silence? Lacanau lets you choose…
