Both the Atlantic resort town of Lacanau Ocean and the city of Lacanau are located in the Aquitaine region of France, northwest of Bordeaux and north of Arcachon. The resort is clean and modern, boasting a wide variety of outdoor activities and sports, as well as plenty of opportunities for rest and relaxation.

The beach at Lacanau Ocean is nearly 14 kilometers in length and is very popular with surfers, since a significant world-class surfing competition is held here annually. Interested visitors can even take classes on surfing, as well as on a number of other water sports, but if golf is more your style, there are three courses nearby that offer stunning settings in which to play.

Be sure to reserve a rental car for your visit to Lacanau Ocean and take a day trip to the nearby lake that is situated halfway between Lacanau Ocean and the city of Lacanau. Here, visitors can opt to spend the day at one of several beaches, but sailing and windsurfing are also available to pass the time.
