1. Anglet is a super pretty little spot. One of Slaters favorites are here, Cavaliers.
2. Labenne is a fully gnarly spot with many different spots. Less crowds , but localized.

4. Guethary is not for the faint hearted. A big wave reefhalf a kilometer out.
5. Lafetania is in the shot below. Really long right hand point break, but crowded.
6. Hendaye is the last beach in France. Great for beginners.
