About

good waves, fun town, go and see for yourself.

Atmosphere:
pretty cool and a hot night life ! I see that some of you have been kind of disappointed by Lacanau (except for surfing) and especially for the night life. You guys haven't chosen the right time to come here to party. From 15th june to 30th august, the night life is absolutely wild with lovely girls everywhere and a great ambiance. It's a much loved destination for people to come on holidays, so from september the only people you will see in the water and in the clubs (when they are not closed) will be the locals. So if you come in summer, go to the Bacardi and then to

Additional Info:
Gets very crowded in summer, but the town is a fun surf-town. Better not to go in summer (ultra crowded) nevertheless there is the ASP surf world championship in august
