Everyone in the water: swimming!THE GENTLE LAKE AND THE DYNAMIC OCEAN
At Médoc Atlantique you have two choices! Enjoy the largest freshwater lake in France or play with the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
The lakes of Lacanau and Carcans-Hourtin offer safe swimming in warm, fresh water, ideal for young children. Many beach huts offer stand-up paddle boards, pedal boats, canoes, catamarans and windsurfers for hire, or you can take a boat trip (accompanied or not) to discover the beauty of this natural area.
Don't miss the opportunity to have fun on the water with the various water parks available (at the Moutchic for Lacanau lake, Bombannes for Carcans-Hourtin lake and the Ile aux Enfants in for Hourtin).
For the more adventurous, head for the ocean beaches. Swimming in the waves, jumping, surfing or simply playing with your kite, a day at the ocean remains a classic of successful holidays!
