Lacanau’s touristic history began in 1903, when Pierre Ortal created this beach resort.
Lacanau is above all reputed for its surfing sports which every August welcomes the Lacanau Pro.World Elite.
Lacanau is also a paradise to practice your swing (3 golf courses); a paradise for nature lovers, thanks to the peaceful lake and nature reserve, and not forgetting for those who love spa treatments.
From Lacanau there are more than 120km of cycling tracks linking the Médoc Océan area.
