Tourist guide

A land full of flavours and savoir-vivre…

At the heart of a region of contrasts with a coast on the Atlantic Ocean, the magnificent pine forests and fine sandy beaches (270 km of shoreline)attract many holidaymakers each year! With a long, tormented history and rich heritage, the region has become famous for its excellent vineyards and varietals. Known for its good living and being a surfing paradise, the villages of this authentic region offer a thousand different shades of colour to discover!

Departing from our campsite, we recommend the guided walk to discover the flora and fauna of the dune of Cap de l'Homy...

To get to Cap de l'Homy beach or Boulevard de la Plage, you can take the free shuttle bus (line 12, direction Cap de l'Homy or Boulevard de la Plage). It provides 1 trip a day in low season from 26/06 and up to 14 trips a day in high season!

Activities not to be missed: canoeing on the Courant d'Huchet, a visit to the Contis lighthouse, nature walks, surfing lessons, a day at the thermal baths in Dax, a visit to the typical village of Lévignac...

And to enrich your stay, go to the surrounding markets: 

• In Lit-et-Mixe: local market every morning in high season, night market on Thursday evenings from mid-July to the end of August
