The ideal location of the Chill House provides you with a great variety of activities
Whether you're looking for the perfect wave or just lazing on the sand... looking for a thrill as you gallop along the beach or for a peaceful bike ride... there's plenty to enjoy around The Chill House!
Surf ou bodyboard ?
Obviously the most natural activity at the Chill House. Whatever your age, your level of fitness and glide, you can have fun in the ocean with a surf or a bodyboard. If you don't know anything about surfing, I advise you to start with a course or a few days training. Then you just need to get your board, watch the forecast (e.g. Lacanau Surf Info which has the advantage of being free with video + comments on the conditions) and jump into the water. The quality of the spots varies with the evolution of the sandbanks so it's impossible to predict. For us a good session is one with a good atmosphere and few people in the water. So avoid Lacanau or the central beach of Le Porge. I like the South of Le Porge at the end of the car park, plus the walk is beautiful. If you want to be really alone nothing could be easier, you walk.
Sailing boats
We particularly like the sailing boat on the lake of Carcan; 2 small red sailing boats for 6 people each are available for rent. You need some sailing skills, but the experience is really fun. After about 1.5 hours of sailing you will find yourself on a small wild beach perfect for picnics, swimming and napping. Remember to book in advance, and be flexible as you need the right wind conditions.
Horseback riding
Don't miss the opportunity to gallop along the beach with your hair blowing in the wind! Hundreds of kilometers of coastline await you to quench your thirst for freedom and adventure. For beginners, a multitude of rides are possible through the forest, along the lakes, along the estuary.
Activités nautiques
Kitesurfing, canoeing, stand up paddle, water-skiing, wakeboarding... a large number of activities are available for you to spend a memorable time with your children or your friends! Enjoy the natural assets of the lakes of Carcans-Hourtin and Lacanau.
Fatbikes at the ocean beach
Riding on the sand without too much effort and crossing miles of deserted beach, a truly incredible experience. You have to go on a falling tide to get hard sand. From Lacanau, 2 solutions: either northwards to Carcans and back through the forest/lake (2-3h), or southwards to the tip of Cap Ferret and back through the Bassin/villages and the cycle path (4-6h).
Padel Tennis
Si vous ne connaissez pas ce sport, vous allez l’adorer ! Accessible à absolument tout le monde, c’est le sport de raquette en vogue. 4 pistes vous attendent à Lacanau, à moins de 15 minutes de la Chill House. Réservez en avance pour bloquer votre piste (4 personnes par terrain) idéalement 1h30. Le prêt de raquettes et balles se fait directement sur place.
Treeclimbing
5 minutes from the Chill House and just before Le Porge Océan is the accrobranche Le Peuple des Cimes. Great activity to do with both children and adults under the shade of the pine trees on hot days.
