The Camp
Dreamsea Soulac Sur Mer is located in the campsite des Pins à Soulac-sur-Mer en Gironde. The camp offers four star comfort and services.
Location
Soulac-sur-Mer is a classic seaside resort on the Atlantic coast of France, located in the Médoc peninsula in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It’s known for its long sandy beaches, relaxed seaside vibe, and natural surroundings where ocean, dunes, pine forests, and estuary landscapes meet. The town combines a beach-holiday atmosphere with cultural charm, from the historic Notre-Dame-de-la-Fin-des-Terres basilica (a UNESCO World Heritage site) to its old villas and central pedestrian areas with cafés, shops and restaurants.
Our surf camp is located in one of the best camping spots, only fifteen minutes walk from the beach. Also in vicinity is the protected forest in the area. Surrounded by pine woods, dunes, and trails, a peaceful environment perfect for relaxation, outdoor walks, and cycling.
The beach has the perfect waves for surfing and learning how to surf. The area is known for its long, sandy beach breaks, which create soft, rolling waves in summer conditions. While wave size is generally smaller than in spring or autumn, this makes Soulac perfect for: Beginner surfers learning the basics, Improving technique and consistency.
The surf spots around Soulac are less crowded than major surf hubs further south, offering a more laid-back and comfortable learning environment, even in peak season.
