From Bordeaux Airport, take the A10 Highway till a town called "Pons". Leave the highway and first, go in the direction of Royan (several surf shops here) then go to "la palmyre", cross the town and roll to the north. At 10 Km is the lighthouse "phare de La Coubre". It's the first of the 2 spots. The second is 2-3 km north (by car) |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | At "phare de La Coubre", the beach is under control but often crowded. A good solution is to roll 2 or 3 km north. You can find here a little parking (sand), just behind the beach. You might often be alone but DON'T SURF THERE ALONE? it might be dangerous sometimes.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
There's often a west wind which is not making good conditions, but when the wind is east, and the wave at 1.5 meter, then it becomes a very cool site where you can make good surf. |
