La-Beaule is the sports capital of Brittany - the number of sports facilities here more than compensates for the lack of large shopping centers and boutiques. There are about 100 tennis courts along the coast (most of them on the territory of fashionable hotels), three golf courses (two of them 9-hole, one 18-hole), a sailing school, playgrounds, fitness clubs, etc. within 5 km of the seafront.
And there's no need to talk about the variety of activities on the water. There are 6 harbors directly in La Baule and you can rent a boat or yacht at the stations.
Water skiing, pedal boats and motorcycles, windsurfing, yachting, wakesurfing, wakeboarding, parasailing - there is no shortage of water activities here! You can usually rent all the equipment you need from the hotels.
La Baule also has a sailing school for children, where experienced instructors can teach you how to sail a catamaran or windsurf board. There's also a regular Derby Dragon sailing race in the town.
In between surfing the waves, we recommend taking a steamboat ride or horseback riding.
Thalassotherapy is also worthy of special attention, with tourists from all corners of the globe flocking to La Baule for its therapies.
