Mimizan can be seen as France’s surf capital and that has to do with the great surf conditions Mimizan Beach has to offer. The Surf Lodge is within walking distance from the beach and it’s ran by a French couple and their team. The surf lodge features a number of double rooms and there are a couple of shared rooms, which are ideal to meet fellow surfers. There is a daily breakfast included and you can have lunch and dinner as well in the lodge, which (as the rumours go) has the best ‘cuisine’ of Mimizan.

2. Dreamsea Glamping Cantabria
This is one of Dreamsea’s smallest surf camps and it hosts all sorts of people. The average age here would be very widely ranged, as there are youngsters, couples, families and many others. The surf camp has a truly international aspect, both among the guests and the staff. Even though the surf camp is situated on a camping which is not directly on the coast, there are often mini vans transporting everyone to the beach and back.
