Landes Tourist Information and Visitor Guide
With almost 100 kilometers of sandy coastline, Landes boasts the longest beach in Europe. The whole coast is dotted with resorts offering a full range of watersports and beach facilities. If you prefer a spa break to a beach holiday, head for the riverside town of Dax where hot springs bubble at a constant 64 degrees celsius. For a day away from the beach head into the wonderful pine forests.
