Top Surfing in France

Grab a baguette and some cheese from a local shop for a picnic on the sand. It’s way cheaper than the beachside cafes and twice as satisfying. I didn’t do this and regretted it!

Pack your sunscreen and a beach umbrella; the sun can get intense! I didn’t realize how hot it could be, and I ended up with a nasty sunburn, which definitely put a damper on my trip!

Watch out for the sun! I forgot my sunscreen and got pretty burned. Bring a hat and some high-SPF lotion, especially if you're planning on hanging out all day.

If you're planning to surf, check the tide tables before you go. I found out the hard way that the waves are way better a few hours after high tide!

i recommend hitting the beach around 9 am to snag a good spot before the crowds roll in. the mornings are also nice and calm for a swim or a surf. just don’t forget your sunscreen.
