Some of the longest beach breaks in Europe that don’t often disappoint
THE SURF
The Côte d’Argent is the longest uninterrupted stretch of sandy beach in Europe. Here, swells are focused on to the coast by the deep-water canyon, which juts in towards the coast off Hossegor, this creates sand banks all the way up the beach creating epic hollow beach breaks when the tides, swell and wind are right.
This corner of Europe’s Atlantic coast has the warmest water temperatures, allowing up to three months of surfing in boardshorts. The area boasts many surf spots including the legendary La Gravière which hosts the Quiksilver Pro stop of the WSL World Tour every autumn. The expanse of beach means if you are willing to travel a little, the guys at the Shred Mill can score you quiet, perfect waves.
