OSA Surf Camp Landes: 5-Day Surf, Yoga & Outdoor Adventure in Cap Océan, France

The camp runs for four nights and five days at the Centre Vacances Cap Océan in the Landes, a stretch of pine forest and sandy beach on France's south-west coast. Days are built around the surf: six sessions over the five days, run in small groups by the OSA and EMOCEAN guides. Morning and afternoon slots depend on the tide and conditions, and the rest of the day is filled with optional activities — yoga, skateboarding, slacklining, beach volleyball, or a barbecue in the evening.

One of the standout excursions is a bike ride through the Étang Blanc natural park, a network of lakes and woodland a short ride from the camp. You'll also get a look at the Fôret de Les Landes, the huge pine forest that covers this part of France. The camp is five minutes from the beach, so you can walk to the surf with a board under your arm rather than piling into a van.

Accommodation is full board at the Centre Vacances Cap Océan — a holiday centre with rooms, communal dining and space for the group to hang out. Meals are included (breakfast, lunch and dinner), and the centre is set up for groups, so you're not hunting for restaurants after a day in the water.

What sets this apart from a standard surf camp is the activity mix. It's not just surf, sleep, repeat — there's a scheduled bike excursion, a BBQ, yoga sessions and plenty of time for skateboarding and volleyball. The camp is run jointly by OSA Surf Camp and EMOCEAN Surf Camp, so you get two crews of instructors and a group of like-minded people. Places are limited, and the dates are fixed for late June 2026.

The vibe is relaxed and outdoor-focused rather than intense. You'll be in the water most days, but there's no pressure to be an expert surfer. The guides adapt to the group's level, and the additional activities mean you can fill your time even if you want a break from surfing. It's a good fit if you want a short, active break in France with everything organised — surf, food, bed and a programme of things to do.
