When to go to Lacanau?
Wide beaches of pale gold face the Atlantic at Lacanau, and the surf rolling in shapes the town's whole day. Inland, the lake lies flat and fresh under maritime pines, good for paddling and long evening walks. Cycle paths run for kilometres through the Landes forest, joining the two without ever meeting a car.
