Winter Beach Wedding Destination – Surf in Seignosse

Author: Gracie  |  Category: WT

When it comes to being romantic, no one can beat the French. If you are looking for a quaint and picturesque destination for your beach wedding, Seignosse is an excellent option. The beach town lies nestled in the woods, just a half-hour from the Pyrenees Mountains, and is typical of the older Landes coastal villages, with a church, some small bars and hotels. It is famous for its brilliant surf spots such as Le Penon and Les Bourdaines.

The beaches at Seignosse have been drawing surfers for years; the sands are sparkling white, the waves are big, the water’s clean, and best of all – surprisingly few souls have discovered this magnificent haven. But once you’ve had your fill of sand and surf, explore some of the town’s other offerings. Seignosse lies on the outskirts of the heavily forested Pyrenees, and just north of the village are two large lakes, the Black Lake (Etang Noir) and the White Lake (Etang Blanc). The lakes are tucked into the woods, where travelers can find some good hiking and excellent views. Hidden down the lanes surrounding the lakes and nestling in the pine trees, are a few very isolated Landes style Restaurants with views over the lakes.

If surfing is not your idea of fun, then check out the amazing Golf course which is between the village and the sea.  It has been constructed with lakes & ponds creating hazards for the most discerning golfer, with the most beautiful modern Landes style houses nestling between the pine trees and the fairways of the Golf Course. However if you are looking to rock the night away after the wedding, a quick trip to the town of Hossegar, some 2.5 miles away, will give access to bars, piano bars, discos and even a casino. Seignosse is truly a perfect place for the perfect French wedding!
