Le Vivier beach is the best-known spot in Biscarrosse, where beginners, regulars and experienced surfers mix. North Beach (Plage Nord), home every summer to the Kiwi Surf Festival, suits all levels. The most experienced surfers, often locals, head for South Beach (Plage Sud) for the power of the waves at high tide. And for wide, wild open spaces, make for Le Trencat, towards Arcachon.<\/p>\n
Around ten schools offer lessons for all ages: taster sessions, week-long courses, private lessons. The prices below were checked on the schools\u2019 websites in October 2026; they change from one season to the next, so check them before booking.<\/p>\n
A surf and swimming school at the North roundabout, facing the ocean, accredited by the French Surfing Federation. Its state-qualified instructors take children from age 5, provided they can swim.

Based at 7 rue des Arbouses, opposite the Central Beach, this school was born from the passion of two local surfers. It welcomes all levels, from taster to advanced lessons, with an eco-friendly approach: students learn about protecting the ocean. Prices for each package (taster, courses, private lessons) are listed on the school\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
The first surf school in Biscarrosse, founded in 1995, La Vigie coaches beginners as well as surfers looking to progress. It is located at 788 boulevard des Sables, with a surf shop on site.

For children from age 7, a one-hour lesson costs \u20ac33 and a 5-lesson course \u20ac145. Equipment and insurance included.<\/p>\n
Gang Surf is all about a friendly atmosphere and the fun of learning, with two bases: one at the North roundabout on avenue Gabriel d\u2019Annunzio, the other right on the sand at Le Vivier beach. Group lessons, private lessons and paddleboarding. A 1.5-hour lesson (ages 9 to 99) costs \u20ac40, then \u20ac37 per lesson from 5 lessons and \u20ac35 from 10. For 5 to 8-year-olds, a one-hour lesson costs \u20ac30 (\u20ac29 from 5 lessons, \u20ac28 from 10).<\/p>\n
South of the Central Beach, at 66 place de l\u2019Oc\u00e9an, Point Break offers lessons and courses for all ages and levels, in surfing and stand-up paddle, with video coaching for more experienced surfers. Group lessons start at around \u20ac40; ask the school for the full price list.<\/p>\n
