Additional Information
Atmosphere
Friendly. A cool spot to begin in surf. Very good position (middle of Les Landes coast. From here, you can access at all other spots (Hossegor...) in less than 45 minutes
No beton, no building, just a small sauvage town in the middle of the forest
General
Very good to learn the other side of Les Landes ... the natural one, not the brick and mortar one.

- More than 5 feet and it closes out. Otherwise it would be ok except for the crowds.
