Omar Guisse, son of a surfing family, has set up a small surf school on the edge of the lagoon to share his passion. Here, beginners and advanced surfers alike can take surfing lessons, rent a board for a few hours on the Atlantic waves or a skimboard to glide across the water. The less adventurous can enjoy a paddle or boat trip on the lagoon, passing through beautiful scenery. Kayaks are also available for hire for a pleasant crossing from the lagoon to the ocean. Competitions are sometimes organized.

To change from idleness and practice a sport in the middle of nature, Patrice Cauchy, French state instructor and his team propose to let the wind carry you on the most beautiful beach of the Cap Skirring, by sand yacht.
