You do not need to be an experienced surfing family. Optional courses are available for first-time surfers, progressing surfers and children, so every family member can take part at an appropriate level.
- Comfortable family lodge accommodation
- Full-board catering during the week
- Optional surf coaching for adults and children

More than a week beside the beach
Why Families Love Biscarrosse
Enough freedom for the children, proper downtime for parents and memorable experiences that the whole family can enjoy together.
Space To Play
A trampoline, playground and open-air areas give younger guests plenty to do away from the beach.
Pool & Sports Facilities
Cool off at the campsite pool or enjoy football, volleyball, table tennis and other family-friendly sports.
Time To Slow Down
Relax in the camp lounge, sit outside your lodge or enjoy a quiet evening beneath the southwest French pine trees.
Make this the summer they remember
Surf Together. Eat Together. Switch Off Together.
The best family holidays are not measured by how much you fit in. They are measured by the moments everyone remembers: first waves, sandy walks home, shared meals, new friendships and evenings spent talking about the day.
