Golf/ Driving range

Not far our surf house is the esteemed Seignosse golf club. The course is great but the driving range is even better. A few evenings per week they put on a live a concert to make practising golf that little bit more exciting.

Pétanque (Boules)

When in Rome do as the Romans do. The French love this game and its easy to see why. Its not difficult, its social, and its best played with the refreshing beverage “Pastis”. It can also be played anywhere, but we love the “Boulodrome” located right on Capbreton Marina.

Biking and Nature Trails

As luck would have it the Surf House is located in one the largest pine forests in Europe; the Landes Forest. Grab a bike or slip on your walking shoes and take a step back into nature on any one of the endless biking/walking trails throughout this beautiful landscape.

Climbing/ Bouldering

If the surf turns bad we like to try and stay active. The brand new climbing centre in Hossegor is a great refuge of fun and physical endurance for all levels. It has has a great little cafe for lunch and a sauna!

Outlet Shopping

A short bike ride away is where you will find the surf brand outlet stores. All your favorite brands, all in the same place, at discounted prices. There are also a number of great bars and cafes to break up the days shopping.

Extra Curricular

Other extra curricular activities include but are not limited too; Language lessons (French, English, Spanish), life hacks, and riddle solving.

Birding

Birding or Bird Watching is becoming increasingly more popular in Hossegor (we suspect). The area hosts a large number of rare birds or “lifers” as we like to call them, many of which can found no further than the surf house garden. Any bird knowledge from travelling birders is more than welcomed and encouraged.

Biarritz day trip

You’ve probably heard of the famous french city of Biarritz but have you taken the time to explore its breathtaking coastline, seaside walks, and beautiful architecture? Its definitely worth the trip.

French things

Dont forget we are in the land of baguettes, cheese, and wine. If you want to get your French cliché on, we have you covered. A surf house favorite is the infamous Cafe de Paris in the centre of Hossegor. It’s an excellent place to watch the world go by, and to truly embrace the French culture. Extra points if you can order your demi pêche in French.
