Things to see and do

In the pretty seaside resort, all water sports are allowed. At the rhythm of the tides, you can enjoy its long sandy beach for a moment of relaxation on your towel, but also to practice the sand yachting in all seasons. Catamaran, paddle and kayak are also on the program of your stay. You will also not forget your bucket to go fishing or simply pick up nice shells when the sea is withdrawn.

Nature has also reserved some surprises. Also, put on your hiking shoes or ride your mountain bike and discover the sand dunes through multiple hiking trails. Easy, medium or difficult, the paths are of different levels to satisfy both novice and experienced hikers. A sport course is also available on the town.
