Hossegor-Tosse

Hossegor-Tosse lies on the Landes coast in south-west France, close to Capbreton and Seignosse. Hossegor is well known for its pine-fringed marine lake, its ocean beaches and its waves, popular among surfers and other watersports enthusiasts. Tosse, the neighbouring and more residential commune, offers a quieter setting amid pine forest and low-rise housing, just a short drive from the coastline. The area enjoys a mild oceanic climate, ideal for outdoor pursuits throughout the year, including walking, cycling along the region's dedicated bike paths, or simply relaxing by the lake or on the beach. Hossegor's market and town-centre shops showcase local produce, including specialities typical of Landes cuisine such as duck, as well as oysters from the nearby Arcachon basin. The surrounding pine forest is characteristic of the wider Landes landscape, adding to the area's distinct natural charm. Combining sea, nature and a relaxed pace of life, Hossegor-Tosse makes a convenient base for exploring France's south-western Atlantic coast.
