An hour southwest of Bordeaux, the Atlantic coastal town of Biscarrosse is a wonderful destination for keen surfers and water sports enthusiasts of all ages. The town offers a growing range of accommodation options, include chic B&Bs as well as private villas for couples, families and groups of friends travelling together. Famed for its tranquil lakes and golden sands, this seaside community is warm and welcoming — the same goes for the best places to stay in Biscarrosse.
Perhaps the area’s most famous site, the Dune du Pilat — the highest in Europe at 107m tall and 2km long — is absolutely unmissable. Enjoy long walks, gorgeous scenery and oceanside adventures aplenty on and around the dune. Keen surfers can hone their skills at bustling Vivier Beach, before venturing inland for 50km of hiking and cycling trails through the verdant forests of the Landes region.
Head to Biscarrosse's north lake for idyllic beach days at Maguide and Navarrosse or to enjoy kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, aqua biking and boating excursions. Families will love the water slides at the lake’s Aqua Park, or the challenging treetop rope courses at Bisc’aventure. For fans of vintage seaplanes, the Musée de l’Hydraviation on the south lake is another highlight.
The best places to stay in Biscarrosse fill up fast during the summer months and the school holidays so book well in advance.
