Surfing Waves

Hey Folks,

for the first three weeks in july me and my girlfriend are planing our camping trip down to hossegor in france. She is a firsttime surfer and im something in between beginner and advanced

So we are looking for good spots of course, but also for a good surfschool and a nice campingground, which wont cost us our yearlywage

We found the campingground "cote d'argent" somewhat attractive and affortable, anybody been there yet?

Would be awesome to get some tips

Thanks,
Freddy

I've never been myself but it should give you plenty of decent info.

Hi,
we visit this area of france at least twice a year and love it. personally i find hossegor a bit too much like newquay, and we tend to stay in the smaller towns further north. A great one to try is Mimizan-plage. evrything is really cheap and there are loads of campsites in the area. The beach is always really quiet, but the waves are really good. We were there 4 weeks ago, and can't wait to go back!

hey guys thanks for the info so far.

@ beckster: can u recommend some particular campsites?
We are searching for big-huge camping sites, with sport sites and good facilities....

What about mimizan plage, is there a good surfschool as well?

Cheers
