Moliets, is a really popular summer surf trip destination! This region of Southwest France is a town and beach resort forming part of the extensive beach section of the Atlantic Coast of south-west France known as the Cote d'Argent. It is situated on a quiet section of the coast with resorts which encompass everything great about the summer; perfect beach breaks, golden sunsets, outdoor living and a social lifestyle.
We’ll be based in a private surf camp, surrounded by nature with pine forests, lakes and endless sandy beaches on our doorstep.
