For water sports enthusiasts, the beaches of the Basque coast are just a few kilometers from the campsite. Enjoy the waves of the Atlantic Ocean by learning or improving your skills in surfing, bodyboarding, or paddleboarding. The beaches of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Biarritz are renowned for their excellent conditions and are indeed world-famous surf spots. But let the lovers of relaxation and idleness not be mistaken! The sand is also particularly soft and pleasant for sunbathing and taking a nap in the sun

After an intense day of sightseeing or hiking, what a joy to relax at the campsite’s pool! This pool, open from May to late September and measuring 15×8 meters, allows you to take some invigorating laps or simply relax in the water. We’ve also thought of the little ones by creating a paddling pool designed to meet their needs so they can splash around and have fun in this dedicated space, under your supervision, of course.
