Lacanau

Lacanau is best known in Nouvelle-Aquitaine for the Atlantic surf beaches of Lacanau-Océan. The commune extends from the Bay of Biscay’s dune-backed coast inland to Lac de Lacanau, a large freshwater lake bordered by the pine woods of the Landes de Gascogne. This creates two distinct waterside settings: broad ocean beaches shaped by waves, and a quieter lakeshore used for sailing and other water sports. Surfing is central to the local identity, and Lacanau-Océan hosts the annual Lacanau Pro competition. Cycle paths cross the surrounding forest, while the inland village has a more residential character than the resort coast.
