The beaches along the Hossegor and Capbreton coast stretch continuously north and south offering a huge choice of surf for everyone. Capbreton has 7 km of beaches starting at the busy side of town and extending south where sand dunes and pine forest merge gently with the incredible beauty of the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The beaches by the main town are perfect for beginners and intermediate surfing standards
Across the harbour is the famous surf town of Hossegor, where European surfing really took off. The main stretch of beach, Plage Centrale and La Sud, beside the main promenade are great place to learn to surf in Hossegor. For those more experienced there's the opportunity to surf the breaks where the Worlds No.1 surfers duke it out every September in the World Championship Tour, the legendary La Nord and La Graviere.
The beaches reach Seignosse a few km’s north – here Les Bourdaines is perfect for longboarders, and Le Penon is a real quality beach break that’s a bit quieter and just as much fun. Further south is Biarritz with its classic waves and stunning cliffs. And down by St.Jean de Luz is Belharra, one of the worlds most impressive big wave surf spots.

How did you like the accommodation?
The Wood'n Sea Lodge is a wonderful place to stay, and Antoine is the perfect host!
This gem of a hostel was a lot nicer than the Hilton we stayed at in Paris on the drive down.
The rooms, the showers, the kitchen and the deck are comfortable and clean, and they have everything you need for a great vacation.
With a nice breakfast to start your day and a report on wave conditions first thing in the morning as well as surfboards and wetsuits to rent, this is the perfect basis for a relaxing time in Capbreton.
It's only a couple of minutes walk to the beach, and Antoine will help with any questions you may have.
Thanks for a great time! We'll definitely be back!

As a worldwide surfer, this place is one of the best surf hostels I've ever stayed in. From the moment you walk through the front gate you feel like you are home, as you are greeted by the lovely cc and Antonine!! It's the kinda place where you will book for a week and end up staying for 7 weeks haha!!! Thanks so much for everything!!!!

How were the surf lessons with Colin's Surf School?
I booked intermediate lessons with Colin's surf school and 3 mates booked beginner lessons. For my mates it was perfect, they had a great time and learnt to ride green waves by the end of the 5 lessons. For beginners Colin's is perfect, but if you're already standing on greens and are an intermediate riding a hard board, I do not recommend.

Great place to stay, amazing location only 5 minutes walk from la piste, bedrooms are big and comfortable, nice indoor and outdoor communal area with a bbq and terrace and the whole place is very clean The couple who run the lodge are very welcoming and go over and above to make sure you have everything you need for a great stay. Antoinne knows all the local beaches and which spots will be working. One of the best hostels I've staid in.

How did you like the accommodation?
Accommodation was wonderful - very clean, relaxing and beautiful. The town of Capbreton and the surrounding area was full of cafes, restaurants and stores. I'd recommend getting a bike for traveling around town and visiting the lake and the many beaches.
How were the surf lessons with Colin's Surf School?
They were FANTASTIC. Frank went out of his way to make sure I was happy and to cater the group lessons to everyone in the group. We went to the same beach every day, which was fine because there was plenty of space among the surfing groups and the waves varied so drastically each day.
