Cap Ferret
The West Beach at Cap Ferret, located in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, is one of the most exposed areas of the Gironde coastline. This beach offers a wild setting with good tourist infrastructure, restaurants, and parking nearby. It is a spot favored by riders for its full west orientation that captures the Atlantic swell well.
The spot is characterized by a beach break with left and right waves. The environment remains quite preserved despite summer crowds, and conditions can vary significantly depending on tides and seasons.
