Le Truc Vert

The beach of Truc Vert, located on the Lège-Cap-Ferret peninsula in Gironde, is a wild spot in the heart of the state forest. It is accessed via a forest road from Petit Piquey, crossing a dune on foot. It’s a beautiful place, popular with surfers and locals for its northwest swell that creates nice waves.

The spot is exposed to the Atlantic Ocean, with preserved dunes that offer a natural atmosphere. It handles the dominant wind conditions well and is suitable for experienced riders who enjoy challenging sessions. In summer, one must deal with the crowds, but off-season, it’s a true preserved paradise.

Close to the Arcachon Basin, it remains somewhat isolated, which enhances its authentic and wild character.
