About
The surf resort in Hoosegor attracts surfers from all around the world who not only share the love for surfing but also celebrate the entire lifestyle. Especially in the north are many beaches, suitable for beginners to advanced surfers. A secret spot is the St.-Girons-Plage with heavy currents. A tip from one of our Travelfriends is the Koala Surf Camp, which is the perfect hostel for your stay. Here you will meet a lot of likeminded Travelfriends.
Prices
Even though Hoosegor is famous for its perfect tides and attracts many surfers, it is a fairly cheap town. Hostels cost between €30-€50 per night, with high season being more expensive obviously.

What to pack
The weather is very pleasant in the summer and you only need comfy beach clothes and a jumper for chilly evenings. Don't forget that big waves are caused by wind, so it can get colder! You don't need fancy clothes as it is a very chilled town where the surfer style dominates!
