When you think of surfing and the Atlantic, you usually think of the Basque Country. However, surf enthusiasts know that Brittany is home to some legendary spots. La Torche point, in Finistère, is one of them. This world-renowned spot attracts surfers from all over the globe. It was also here that the first surf clubs in Brittany were established, and the town received the “Surf City” label in 2015. The rocky point of La Torche separates Audierne Bay to the North and Pors Carn Bay to the South. It offers surfing conditions that few other Breton spots can match. Its wave is often considered ideal for learning.
Located a few hundred meters from La Torche point, Camping la Torche is the perfect holiday spot for surf enthusiasts looking to challenge the Breton waves. Especially since Mathilde, the owner, offers to take you to discover the best surf spots in the region. La Torche, of course, but also other lesser-known spots. Thanks to her, you’ll know everything you need to make the most of Finistère’s waves. This outing is free, but it’s for people who already have an intermediate surfing level. So you leave the campsite accompanied by Mathilde, who drives you to her favorite spots. It’s certainly an opportunity to surf in good company, but also a chance to talk about her passion. It’s not uncommon, during the day, to find the morning surfers sharing a drink at the bar with their fellow riders.
Don’t hesitate to contact the campsite to find out the conditions for taking part in these surf spot discoveries in Brittany.
