More info: Lacanau is located on the Aquitaine coast about fifty miles west of the city of Bordeaux and on the west coast of the Medoc peninsula.
Home to some of France’s most challenging waves, surfers arrive in their droves during high summer to ride the powerful barrels that this coast is famous for. Lacanau hosts one of the most prestigious surf competitions on the French leg of the World Surf League’s qualifying series - the Lacanau Pro.
