Big surf, lovely weather.
Product:
This town is a fantastic place
Product:
The house is well located between Carcans and Hourtin, both of which are nice little towns.
Product:
The town was nice, if a little small. There is not a lot to do in the surrounding areas for day trips, so you are relying on beach/lake weather to avoid boredom.
Product:
easy reach of amenities, beach & lake. Very quiet & sheltered. Great area. Will go back sometime.
Product:
Lacanau was a great destination for us as we had the choice of the lake or the sea, then when the weather wasn't quite so kind we were on our bikes. The town had lots of restaraunts to choose from and a great market.
Product:
Directions to the site were good and accurate. But it did seem along way from the airport which was expected.
Product:
We have been with Alternative Aquitaine for many years and have had complete satisfaction with their expertise and professionalism.
Product:
We have been going to this area for over 40years and this year will celebrate our diamond wedding.
Product:
Beach and lakes are fantastic, clean and beautiful. Lots of good biking and walking trails. The town is lively with plenty of bars and restaurants most of them open in late September.
Product:
Beautiful forest, great beaches and nice amenities.
Product:
Bust in August. Larger town feel than Moliet. Advantage of this was greater restauraunt choice but felt busier/ louder than Moliet which might be more suited to those with younger children.
Product:
We love Lacanau-Ocean, we love rthe beaches, the Lac, surfing, cycling everything about the place
Product:
Great beaches and lakes a real bonus for young kids - water calm and warm. Lots to do, easy (paid) parking for beaches, good choice of restaurants and shops.
Product:
Lots to do in this location. We rented bikes for the entire week and cycled for breakfast every morning. Took drives to vineyards and the lake has lots of activities. Brilliant waves for surfing. Wonderful restaurants with fresh oysters and mussels. Highly recommend the area for both families and couples.
Product:
beautiful place, we have been before and will go again.
Product:
Lots to do in Lacanau.
Product:
Party town.
Product:
love this area and return regularly .
Product:
wide range of things to do and excellent beaches (Carcans Plage worth the short extra drive)
Product:
The area is lovely plenty to do with the lake and beach so close. The town was very good in the evening for meals and mooching around the shops
Product:
Cycling is excellent with the relatively new Lacanau- Hourtin track and the coastal track Porge Ocean- Lege but the track from Carcans Plage to Lacanau Ocean was in poor condition. Markets in the area are well worth visiting.
Product:
Beautiful beach, laid back atmosphere of this seaside resort. Delicious bakeries, plentiful places to eat out, great variety of things to do - surfing (tough!), sailing, windsurfing, waterskiing. But we didn't have time for all these - preferred instead zooming around on the bikes, out to the lake for a picnic, down to the sea to get pummelled in the surf, chilling out by our pool. All great fun.
Product:
Great resort with so many places to visit. The beaches are beautiful (our favorite being just down the road at Carcans-Plage) although they were all stunning. Nearby we liked Moliets Plage which was a beautiful little beach on the lake and very child friendly. Saint Emilion and Arcachon are both less than an hour's drive away and also definitely worth a visit.
Product:
Very peaceful, beautiful location. Lots of wildlife on the doorstep. Fantastic off-road cycle routes. Lovely small towns and resorts plus the vineyards a few easy kilometers away. Perfect for a restful family holiday
Product:
Lovely french seaside town, not many english tourists and locals don't speak too much english either in general so great if you want to practice your french and immerse yourself in another culture, no problems getting what we wanted though, lovely clean beaches with life guards and plenty of privacy if required, town is in a great location, plenty of good restaurants and shops and not too expensive either.
Product:
We have visited before and enjoy the combination of forest, sea and town, the walking and cycling, the restaurants, and the unpretentious and friendly atmosphere.
Product:
Wide range of activities; great restaurants
Product:
Lacanau ocean is a beautiful area. It may not be as grand as Arcachon and town planning may not be a priority but our family loved the surfy beach and the relaxed down to earth nature of the place. The lakes nearby are another alternative for leisure time activity and cycle paths are everywhere - you can even cycle to Bordeaux! We would have liked to have stayed longer!
Product:
We liked the area and there was a lot to do if you were into water sports and cycling. If the weather wasn't so good then there was little to do and the nearest place of interest was Bordeaux. In retrospect we would not have stayed for 2 weeks although this was partly due to the weather not being that good which is of course no faul tof anyones
Product:
Family friendly resort with excellent beaches and cycling trails
Product:

Product:
A great area with lots of activities available for all age groups
Product:
Super location for those who want to leave the car on the drive and take to the many safe family friendly bike trails, beaches and town that Lacanau Ocean has to offer. Excellent young kiddies playground in town centre great too.
Product:
Love Lacanau, Our property was clean smart , but in need of some repairs and maintance Not able to open shutters in 2 bedroom , spoke many times with reception, no body every came to sort out , Old BBQ left in garage dirty , we where told nothing they could do about it. TV no English Chanel's
Product:
Its a very lively place, lost of restaurants, huge beach, full of surfers but even if you're not its kinda fun.
Product:
Good resort, probably best suited for younger families.
