Find the best spots in Biscarrosse

Biscarrosse is a beautiful seaside resort in south-west France in the Landes department, with two lakes (Lac de Biscarrosse-Parentis and Lac de Cazaux-Sanguinet). It boasts over 3 km of fine sandy beach on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Beach means water sports, pine trees, boats, swells, tides and vacations, and in this beautiful region you’ll find some great surfing spots. In this article, we present the best surf spots and schools in Biscarosse.

Surfing with the south beach wind

The south beach boasts one of the best surf spots in Biscarrosse. It’s located between ocean, dunes and a military zone. As far as the eye can see, the white sands of this beautiful region are very attractive. Best of all, the sea offers great waves for surfing. It’s true that the tide is sometimes low, making surfing difficult. However, most of the time it remains a popular area for surfing with large swells.

The Trencat surf spot

The name of this surf spot is inspired by a forest house located on the side of the departmental road 218 on the way to Arcachon. This spot is shared with the Gironde and continues to meet the expectations of surfers looking for a natural landscape like the Dune du Pyla. When you go there, you’ll be fascinated not only by the environment, but also by the pleasure and sense of freedom you’ll get from surfing.

Surfing with the wind from Vivier beach

Le Vivier beach is at the northern end of Bisca Plage. It’s certainly the most popular spot with tourists. They come in large numbers to enjoy a great experience at all times of the year. Some tourists prefer just to watch the water-skiers who take great pleasure in practicing their passion on this beach. Others prefer this activity to enjoy every second of happiness and freedom in the Landes department.

The North Beach surf spot

This beach is very popular because of the view it offers from the northern traffic circle overlooking the beach. From this position, surfers can get an idea of the day’s conditions simply by looking. Some even get out of their cars to watch. It’s also a well-known spot, hosting the Kiwi Surf Festival at the end of July and the WSL Junior Pro in May every year.
