GENERAL
Moliets-Plage is one of many spots at the French Côte d´Argent. With 240 km of beaches one next to each other
this is one of the longest beaches in Europe.
All spots along this coast are beachbreaks and the quality pretty much depends on the
shape of the sandbars which varies from year to year. Moliets is a small town which consists of a few campgrounds, 3 surfshops,
2 supermarkets and lots of bars and restaurants as well as at least 4 surfcamps/-schools.
Enjoy the French way of living, have a pain au chocolat and a cafe au lait
for breakfast. And: France is the country where red wine is cheaper than Coca-Cola !
SPOT RATING: 4**** (1- not so okay, 2-okay, 3-cool, 4-very cool, 5-the ultimate spot)

HOW TO GET THERE

Moliets is located on the small road that runs along the coast between Leon (North) and Vieux-Boucau (South). In Moliets
just follow the sign to Moliest Plage (when coming from Leon it is a left turn, when coming from Vieux-Boucau it is a left).
Follow this road all the way through and try to park as far in the front as possible, or, better, camp at St. Martin !!.
You might want to walk to the very right hand end of the beach, put your stuff on your board and cross the little
river. By surfing right of the river you can usually avoid crowds and surf-camps/schools.
WAVES
