South of Bordeaux begins the region of Les Landes with the coast stretching virtually uninterrupted from the Gironde estuary all the way down to Soustons, Hossegor and Cap Breton before reaching the foothills of the Pyrenées and Basque country. It is remarkably unspoilt, with the coast dominated by long stretches of golden sand washed by Atlantic waves. The stretch where the Côte d'Argent turns - quite literally - into the Côte Basque, offers some of the Continent's best surfing.
The coast encompasses a huge variety including: oyster beds and yachting marinas, fishing villages and vineyards, and the highest sand-dunes in Europe.
Visit the cosmopolitan beachside towns of Hossegor (15 mins) & Biarritz, (only 30 mins) both well known for their great shopping, chic cafes and magnificent seafood restaurants plus the beaches and surf!
For something a little more therapeutic and relaxing, visit the wonderful town of Dax, famous for its natural thermal spas and hydrotherapy.
