Surfing Les Casernes

Les Casernes is the northernmost and most isolated beach in Seignosse, with old bunkers half buried in the sand.

It's the place to go when Les Estagnots and Les Bourdaines are crowded. The banks here come and go, so some weeks it's great and others there's nothing worth paddling for. The rips can be strong. Go with someone, or at least take a good look before you go in.

It's at its best on a clean autumn swell with an easterly wind. In summer there are lifeguards, but few facilities, and the walk over the dune from the car park keeps it quieter than the beaches further south.
