Surfing in total freedom

Surfing is deeply rooted in the culture of the Landes region and the Basque Coast. It has long been part of the local identity, and three stages of the World Surf League take place between the Basque Coast and Southern Landes. The coastline has become an essential destination for the world’s best surfers.

The Landes coastline offers more than one hundred kilometres of beaches and an almost endless variety of surf spots, each with its own character. Everyone can find their perfect spot depending on their level, the conditions and their mood: a hidden wave tucked behind the forest and accessible only on foot, or a more family-friendly beach. Why not surf one of the region’s legendary waves such as La Gravière, Les Estagnots, La Piste, or Guéthary and La Chambre d’Amour in the Basque Country? Iconic waves are all nearby, promising an unforgettable surf stay.

Closest to the 4-star hotel Les Echasses, our guests can choose between the beaches of Seignosse, Capbreton and Hossegor. We are here to advise you and provide daily updates on surf conditions. We can also organise surfing sessions for adults and children with qualified instructors from the Billabong Surf School in Les Bourdaines, Seignosse, with whom Les Echasses Ecolodge has built a trusted relationship.
