Destinations > Hossegor
The surfing capital of Europe but so much more - beautiful lagoon, excellent shopping & restaurants, cycle trails through the pine forests and stunning golf courses. Hossegor is hard to beat for active families and is our most popular resort on the Aquitaine coast. Outside the summer, it's a haven for surfers and golfers.

We have been to Hossegor for the summer holidays for the last 10 years. Plenty to do and a lovely environment.
Product:
Great place for a holiday, lots to do
Product:
Great beach, restaurants & shops.
Product:
Hossegor is about 10/15 minutes away. Its very surf orientated and was extremely busy in mid August but that was to be expected. Children had surf lessons in Seignosse with a great company.
Product:
What’s not to like about Hossegor!
Product:
To be honest, we don't spend time exploring the area, but for the availability of countryside and pretty-well guaranteed weather in the summer, this suits us down to the ground.
Product:
Hossegor we all loved the town, shops, restaurants, lake everything
Product:
Apartment is actually in Capbreton! Very nice area. Lots of cyclists and cycle paths: excellent. Would have been good to have a folder of local information/amenities in the apartment to help with our planning.
Product:
Hossegor is a great area - lots to do in and out of the sea / surf and waves are a must and chilling in village centre also enjoyable / there is a certain chic’ness to this place but remains honest
Product:
Capbreton is a great place for a relaxing holiday!
Product:
Beautiful area and beaches very friendly people!
Product:
We loved the dual aspect of Hossegor, the endless beach and the tidal lake. Great restaurants and well located for sightseeing.
Product:
Good for surfing. Nice beach.

Laid back vibes and great waves.
Product:
Beaches, surf vibe, cool cafes and peaceful pine forests all stack up for a great family holiday. We loved it.
Product:
Lots for all generations
Product:
Lovely place, nice beaches and lots to do. Not perfect for swimming as the waves are quite big but we had a lovely pool.
Product:
I love Hossegar, great beaches, great town, wonderful place to holiday
Product:
We loved this area of France, definitely going back.
Product:
Great place beautiful beaches
Product:
The property is nearer to Seignosse than Hossegor - Seignosse is lively but very commercial and pretty built up. Hossegor nicer but Sea is powerful along this stretch of coast - great for surfers but further north nearer Lacanau is safer sea for little ones.
Product:
Something for everyone... surf is amazing, but so are the cafes, upmarket shops and daily market for fresh product... the whole family loves it!! X
Product:
Great beaches, felt safe, lovely pine forests for walking, kids loved surfing and water park.
Product:
The whole process was trouble free.
Product:
Very nice place for families. Fun for kids and parents.
Product:
Lake walk interesting, seafront area dated
Product:
just get the locks properly sorted out on the sliding doors & maybe add some sound insulation between the living room & main bedroom?
Product:
Hossegor is a perfect location - gorgeous beach, great little town - fab.
Product:
This area offered plenty of opportunities whether our aim for the day was to be active or to relax.
Product:
Seignosse-bourg actually. We were prepared but still too quite, too far away from everything, few jogging paths and bike routes.
Product:
Great destination. Lovely location.
Product:
Had everything we needed and lots of choice for eating and drinking. Great to explore by bike and lots of things to do within easy reach.
Product:
The location was Labenne. Peaceful place with an awesome beach if you love the rough sea.
Product:
Been coming to this corner of Europe for 20 years plus. My favourite place - and now, my family's favourite place too.
Product:
Fantastic
Product:
Hossegor is such a great place to stay, there are plenty of of shops and restaurants to visit, as well as one of the nicest beaches in the region, especially if you are partial to surfing.
Product:
Hossegor is a perfect Autumn escape with plenty of surf and sunshine on tap!
Product:
Very nice
Product:
Amazing beaches, lovely shops/boutiques too. Excellent running route around the lagoon!
Product:
October is a great time to be here. The mornings are fresh but it's still pushing 25 degrees in the afternoon so warm enough to go in the pool/sea. Hossegor was still busy too with lots of options for eating out.
Product:
Capbreton is a cosy small town and offers all you need. The apartment, situated next to the atlantic ocean offers a slendid and unforgettable view.
Product:
Great destination
Product:
Great location - we hired bikes and cycled just about everywhere, cycle tracks are great and the hire car was hardly used. Supermarket a 10 minute cycle or 2 minute drive away, fresh bread and croissants even closer. Love the area, and the villa is extremely well positioned to visit all surrounding beaches and towns. Only bad part was having to leave.
Product:
A little too busy for my taste!
Product:
TOP
Product:
Had lots to offer for all age groups. Very easy to get around. Will be recomending to friends and family
Product:
Plenty of things to do plenty of places to eat . Weather very changeable . Locals quite rude in most situations most of time .
Product:
A bit too busy for us as it was peak holiday time. Beach clean and well supervised by lifeguards
Product:
lovely spot, chic town but not pretentious, lake and beaches wonderful mostly French,
Product:
Stunning area
Product:
Ideally suited to families who love being outdoors, Surf is amazing and an array of Surf shops and gorgeous restaurants. Lots of cycling, skateboarding and swimming. I personally loved the lake and it's perfect conditions for stand up paddle boarding. A good understanding of French is advised.
Product:
Lovely clean place, beaches absolutely wonderful, good surf, restaurants and plenty of shops. Especially good location for families, with plenty of activities to chose from in addition to the beautiful countryside to explore.
Product:
Sea, sun and ocean!!!
Product:
High quality and un-commercial
Product:
Really liked this part of France. Hossegor is surf meets chic - great for food and shopping.
Product:
Surf, beach, shops, golf: great destination
Product:
Capbreton and the surroundings are a wonderful place for a relaxing holiday.
Product:
Perfect for cycling, walking, swimming, families, just a shame the weather was poor when we were there! But you cannot control that!
Product:
Great weather, beautiful beaches and loads to do and explore.
Product:
Very smart area with fantastic beaches
Product:
Lovely beaches and vibe.
Product:
go there every year. love it.
Product:
Actually it was Capbreton which we know and love anyway
Product:
Unfortunately the most dreadful weather but Seignosse Bourg was quiet, pretty and surrounded by the most fabulous forests. It was near everything but just not in the centre of very busy Hossegor or right out on a limb at the beach. The beaches at Seignosse Ocean are stunning.
Product:
Did not see enough of surroundings so will have to return.
Product:
Destination already known to us
Product:
A superb town with a beautiful beach and lake. Great clothes and homeware shops and Friday craft market. We were surprised however, that many of the great restaurants were closed in the evening, as our trip in early September was called 'out of season'.
Product:
Although Capbreton is not as upmarket as its neighbour Hossegor itself it has some lovely restaurants and shops. The area is great for surfing, walking, cycling and generally lazing about. Really enjoyed our stay.
Product:
the area is just fabulous, we loved the Beaches, the forests, the lakes. we are already considering the same area for next year.
Product:
Capbreton was absolutely fantastic. Hossegor had more bars/restaurants and market but was only a 15 minute walk. All in all - fantastic holiday and would definitely use again.
Product:
We stayed in Capbreton and really liked this resort. Super beach, lots of restaurants, excellent fish market. The village centre was bustling, with nice shops and more cafes and restaurants and the marina was also pleasant to walk around. Very convenient for a day trip to Spain - we went to Pamplona. We would be very happy to return to this resort.
Product:
Perfect for us as a family, 10 year old boy loved the surfing and 18 year old loved the nightlife, we loved the beaches and the weather. It is very busy but you get used to it. The best beach for us was the nudist beach, not that we went nude but best for the surf etc!
Product:
All you need for great family holiday.
Product:
Labenne-Océan is a lovely quiet place with a beautiful, long, popular beach. The swimming was guarded all day. We bought fresh baguettes and croissants from the local patisserie and hired bikes to cycle to Hossegor and Capbreton (with a trailer for the kids). The only down point is the lack of public transport to get to the Labenne town (although from there you can get regular buses to other towns). Since the supermarket is in Labenne town, this can be difficult if you don't have a car with you, and the local shop is overpriced.
Product:
Cosmopolitan,buzzy.Great shops and beaches.
Product:
Aggressive surfers, little rules on the beach, but that's because of the crowd.
Product:
Hossegor is a great holidays destination for all kinds of people.
Product:
Fantastic area and surf was brilliant will definitely go back next year.
Product:
Best place to surf
Product:
The area was right for us, we all found what we wanted - sea, surfing, swimming, good weather, easy access to shops, local facilities, etc. At times the traffic jams were pretty bad though - but not too surprising for August around major tourist resorts.
Product:
Wonderfull place I know for a long time .We met lot of friends and family ,very good time.
Product:
Great place.
Product:
Not sure about Hossegor but of course there are so many alternatives around that area - for example the Pyrenees being just 45 minutes away and numerous choices of beaches.
Product:
A lovely area of France, great beaches, weather and lots to see and do.
Product:
Never been before and everyone was pleasantly surprised with the charm of the place. Although it was high season and plenty of holidaymakers, it retained a feeling of relaxation with plenty of beach area, interesting little shops, and decent places to eat. Those serving in the shops etc, were always pleasant and courteous and we enjoyed the local Fetes.
Product:
Great destination for teenagers/young adults.
Product:
We had a wonderful time and I know Hossegor well having visited twice before. The cycle paths and driver's mentality towards cyclists were fantastic - we were happy to let the two girls (15 & 16) out on their own even at night. It's a safe, friendly and buzzing place with both a calm lake and the wonderful Atlantic sea, lovely cafes and shops to enjoy, and the best market in France. We particularly loved the little tapas bars at the market for a quick 'pression' after shopping.
Product:
Having been previously to the area we knew what to expect and were not disappointed.
Product:
A blissful area for sun sea and sand with lovely locations for walks or cycling, particularly the harbour and the lake, no doubt I will be returning very soon.
Product:
Always loved this part of France! Much cooler than the Riviera!
Product:
Hossegor is a vibrant, cool, surfy kind of place. Lots of bars, restaurants and shopping.
Product:
Excellent
Product:
Hossegor is a delightful French town. Our house was conveniently placed for easy access to the beach, the lake and the town. So many wonderful amenities on our doorstep. I would highly recommend the house and Hossegor as an amazing holiday destination for adults and children alike.
Product:
Can't fault location.
Product:
Lovely part of France.
Product:
good.
Product:
Nice chilled out surf town with lots of good bars and restaurants. Plenty of local supermarkets, pattisseries etc to satisfy all palettes! I would recommend.
Product:
Good location for exploring the area.
Product:
Great for surfing
Product:
Perfect for the whole family. The surf was enjoyed by our young, the beaches by the very young and the local shopping and dining by all of us.
Product:
We just spent our time in Seignosse, which was all we could wish for with young children!
Product:
This part of the world is beautiful, healthy and there are so many things to do - catering for all needs - surfing, beautiful beaches for all abilities, shopping, restaurants, golf, tennis. All you need is the interest in doing it. What a phenomenal area. No wonder people who come here never want to leave
Product:
Loved the pine forests, cycle routes, miles of golden beaches and the laid back feel of the place - the main shop and restaurant area was a tad tired though and would have liked more top end than just burger and pizza.
Product:
I love Hossegor! Favorite Destination!
Product:
Been coming to the area every no and then for 20 years. A total gem! Only wish it could remain more of a secret...
Product:
Perfect for Francophiles! The village of Saubrigues was very rural and we felt thoroughly integrated into the French way of life. Not touristy at all but within easy reach of great beaches, lovely towns and we loved exploring the Pays Basques region.
Product:
Good beaches, peaceful countryside
Product:
Great mix of beaches, nice restaurants.
Product:
Unknown by so many people, and hopefully it can remain a hidden gem.

Better place for a beach holiday in Europe. Lovely French village. Surf center in France Tasty, not expensive, nice)

We were a little bit far from Hossegor. But had a car so it was fine.
Product:
Surfing, Party and fantastic sunsets! Just amazing.
Product:
Lubenne - ocean was a nice resort. Good walks and cycling opportunities. Only lacks a decent restaurant!
Product:
Good ocean and lake beaches. Drive a bit tortuous from villa (25 minutes and as many roundabouts).
Product:
Interesting chic town located near beautiful beaches, northern spain and the Pyrenees
Product:
The property is in Labenne Plage - about 10 minutes from Hossegor. It is perfect for a beach holiday, however we were there in June before the season really started so not sure how busy it might get in high season.
Product:
Very pretty location and had all facilities on the doorstep. Would go back there again.
Product:
A great place and we will be visiting again.
Product:
Lovely place, great for couples and families.
Product:
Hossegor est une excellente destination pour la détente, l'air pur et le surf

Nice place for families better suited to summer holidays, July and August than June. Not as many restaurants open
Product:
See comment above.
