The seaside town of Capbreton is located in Southwest Landes at a mid-distance between Biarritz and Dax. Hemmed in against the Atlantic Ocean by the southern parts of the Landes pine forest, Capbreton is a much sought after town in which to buy French property, thanks to its ocean views, beaches and the largest marina along the Landes coastline.
The attraction of Capbreton for many is the town's exquisite beachfront. It lays claim to 7kms of sandy beach, the central part of which is backed by bars and restaurants serving a fine array of French cuisine - including dishes created from the local fresh fish catch. Further to the south, the beach becomes wider as it swings down in an almost unbroken arc towards Biarritz. Along this stretch are some spectacular sand dunes, although not of the scale of the Dune du Pilat near Arcachon.
Just as with Biarritz, Capbreton has developed an affinity with watersports activities. Watersports enthusiasts from all over the world choose to holiday in Capbreton to take advantage of the Atlantic swell to surf and sail. Sea fishing off the Capbreton coast is popular too, making Capbreton an all year-round vacation resort.
French property for sale in Capbreton typically comprises of apartments and villas. A 5-bed villa in France within 2 minutes of the beach was recently on the market for 730,000 euros. Included with this Capbreton property was a 2-bed self-catering apartment - ideal for Capbreton property buyers looking to capitalise on the town's all year-round tourism trade.
