Becalou Canoe Kayak was created by Sophie Bégin, a former top-level kayak-polo athlete. You can rent a kayak by the hour for a trip through the salt meadows. For a longer experience, you can take your picnic and sail all the way to the Arcachon Basin! If you'd like to be supervised by a professional, themed outings are available: sunset in the salt meadows, kayaking and astronomy, ornithology, botany or oyster farming, as well as a hike to Île aux Oiseaux and breakfast at sunrise.

It is difficult to describe Max'Golf as a mini-golf course, as it is so large with its 18 lanes on 7,000 m² in a 100% natural setting... The other interesting point is its territorial anchorage. All along the course, you will be able to pass your little ball next to the Cap-Ferret lighthouse (10 meters high here!), the cabanes tchanquées or the Pilat dune... Each element is accompanied by an educational sign. Here is something to discover or rediscover the history, traditions and heritage of the Basin while having fun as a family.

The friendly Captain Boboss makes you discover the best fishing areas in the Bassin d'Arcachon. A fisherman's son, trained in the fishery, at the meeting, he returned to his home waters to act as a guide. With it you are fishing the bar, the lean, but also tuna and shark. You are generally drifting adrift in specific places: start-to-shoot fishing - bring back bait, surface or mudflap, or vertical fishing with shads, jigs and vifs. The Bateau boat can accommodate 11 fishermen, but the guide is limited to 5 fishermen for a better delivery. The different formulas range from the bar/lean exit to the shark fishing, a gift offer is even offered to delight a loved one. Sports fishing with beautiful reel tee in a fabulous setting!

Enjoy the beach on the ocean side on the Grand Crohot beach, just 15 km from the airport! This is a good exit plan! The beach of the Grand Crohot is a magnificent beach bordered by a pine tree which smells the air in the way of its sweet scent and creamy to the fake air of sunscreen! But everyone will make their dreams and memories, by offering a relaxing break on the sand or playing between friends or with children!

Notice to fans of thrills, small - from 4 years old - and large. The T In Leyre adventure park stretches over 2 hectares and offers 80 hanging games. Three acrobatic and secure courses are designed for children and eight for adults. The most brave will try the «black path» and will climb the arms up to 13 metres from the ground through an unstable scale and will end up with a 70-metre long Tyrolean tyrolean! Those who don't taste the adventure will be able to wait on the edge of the Leyre or at the bar where they will taste organic and local products. Everyone will certainly find his account there. A great adventure!

Gujan-Mestras boasts a superb aquatic center for swimmers and non-swimmers alike.

Take advantage of the benefits of water and the advice of professionals to do yourself good. And also: baby swimming, kindergarten, swimming school, birthdays...

The swimming pool at Audenge is quite unusual. In fact, it's the largest seawater pool in Europe. This seawater reservoir forms a large open-air swimming pool. In all, there are three pools at different levels for young and old alike. Of course, the water is heated by the sun. There's no chlorine here - it's the salt that stings the eyes - and no filter either! There's also a children's playground, sand, duckboard and grass areas along the pools, and frequent entertainment for the youngest guests.

For safe family bathing on the Arcachon basin, the Lanton swimming pool is ideal. Young and old alike will have the time of their lives on the seawater (supervised from July¹ to August 31). During the high season, you can also take part in a range of fun and sporting activities. Note that this beach has been awarded the Handiplage label for its facilities for people with reduced mobility. You'll be seduced not only by the practicality, but also by the beauty of the landscape.

In the heart of the forest, this superb site offers courses for the whole family. Whether young or old ( baby courses are available from age 3), intrepid or cautious, everyone will love playing Tarzan and leaping from branch to branch through the forest. The youngest will test their mettle on the pink Young Adventurer's Course, while the Adventurers will be delighted to try their hand at crossing nets and bridges. The more adventurous will try their hand at the Explorer's course, with a succession of bridges and balancing logs.

Only 3 km from the Aérodrome airfield, you can offer a break at the beach! It is on the beach of Bétey that you will find, on the side of the Arcachon basin, this charming beach where you can find calm, rest and air and ressourçant of the ocean. A relaxing break to make full energy… A sports break in the beautiful days if bathing tries!

Sailing enthusiasts, welcome to Sport Nautique d'Andernos! The friendly instructors, the trips around the Île aux Oiseaux... are just some of the reasons to try your hand at sailing. Nautical excursions and courses during the school vacations are offered on Optimists from age 6, dinghies from age 8, catamarans from age 10 and windsurfers from age 11. The course comprises 5 sessions of 3 hours each, from Monday to Friday, depending on the tides. Private and group lessons are led by qualified instructors.

Young and adults swimming lessons, small supervisors (3 to 5 years), sports swimming clubs, gym, diving, swimming, swimming with palm trees… Andernos offers us only a local swimming pool, but more! It is covered, heated and above all has a sea water pool! We think this is true, especially since it has a glass bay that directly overlooks the Arcachon basin. Tested and approved by a comfortable Petit Smart to find seawater in the heart of winter. What priesthood this profession! The swimming pool therefore welcomes you every time, summer and winter.

Did you know? You can ski in the Arcachon forest! Created in 1938 by a handful of winter sports enthusiasts and popular until the 1970s, the pine-needle ski slope (also the name of the association) is certainly the most unusual activity in the basin! So, are you ready to strap on your skis or snowboard and hurtle down the 200 meters of this unique slope? Sensations guaranteed, even on a toboggan!
