Capbreton

Capbreton sits at the mouth of the Boudigau/Bourret rivers on the Landes coast, right by the head of the Gouf de Capbreton submarine canyon that drives swell into this whole stretch of coast. It's a popular sailing, surfing and beach-going town suitable for a range of kite levels along its beach breaks.
