Médoc Atlantique is the perfect family holiday destination! Lake Hourtin-Carcans is no exception to the rule with activities to enjoy with your children. If enjoying the beach seems unavoidable, a boat trip to discover the treasures of the lake or a picnic on the Ile aux Enfants will delight young and old alike. Discover all the family activities on the banks of Lake Hourtin-Carcans.
The beach of Piqueyrot
Located on the edge of the lake of Hourtin-Carcans, the beach of Piqueyrot is a small paradise. Swimming is supervised, ideal for children and the water is warmer than the ocean! For the more sporty, there is the possibility to rent a paddle, kayak or canoe. Explore the wild coastline of the lake, only accessible by sea.
Did you know ? Every year, on the 2nd weekend in June, the Médoc Atlantique Tourist Office organises the Bambino fait son show, a festival for children aged 3 months to 12 years !
Kitesurf and beach
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced kitesurfer, Lake Hourtin-Carcans is a well-known spot for kitesurfing. There are two main areas to practice: the spot of Lachanau and the spot of Hourtin-Port. If you prefer to bask in the sun, enjoy the spectacle of this aerial ballet of sails. It's a rainbow of colours in the sky!
