A beautiful lake to practice aquatic sports and have fun!

Do you fancy a swim? Are you looking for a fun place where you can easily have a paddle? It is not always easy for children to bath in the ocean. The waves can be very big and if you are staying in the backcountry, you may not be keen to go on the coast every day! Enjoy Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle Leisure activity centre! In addition to being a beautiful place, it is a place to enjoy many aquatic activities: canoeing, kayaking, pedal boats, paddle boarding and a giant XXL stand up paddle board for all the  family (and friends), slides, giant inflatable aqua park, picnic areas, playground, tennis, it is really aqua heaven...

Come on, let’s paddle and pedal on the lake!

Put on a life jacket (Children over 3 years old can join in) and get ready for a ride on the beautiful lake. The background view? The surrounding mountains and soft rolling hills highlighting the emerald colour of the lake. The water is pleasant, we had fun! Paddle up to the beach or up to the aquatic park. It is funny to see people jumping from the giant springboard. Did you see you the zipline? It crosses the

whole lake!

Do you prefer canoeing? Kayaking? The yellow boats will take you all around the lake, with a double paddle. Right, left! Have you ever tried the SUP (Stand Up Paddle boards)? They are large stable foam boards. We climb on it and we stand up, then with the help of a paddle, you move (a bit like the gondoliers do...). The movement becomes quickly very natural; you soon get used to it and move forward while having fun. Try the XXL SUP and go on an adventure on the lake with your friends. Up to 6 or 7 people allowed!

There are the pedalo enthusiasts... Those who like these funny boats, equipped with a mini slide, where we all pedal together to make the craft move. We have fun, it is a very "eighties" type of craft!

Lots of games to have fun all afternoon

Around the lake of Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle and its 12 hectares park, there are many things to do. Did you bring your picnic? There are shady places to enjoy the fresh air and lay a blanket. Did you forget it? It is not a problem; there are many restaurants to cater for all tastes installed along the bank.

The meal is finished; you take your coffee peacefully, while the children play on the swings in the giant playground. Two steps away from here, there is an inflatable aqua park "Aquazone - Waterjump" to please the most dynamic and a large slide with loops to give an adrenaline fix to all! Fancy flying like the birds? Take the giant zipline crossing above the lake. At any time of the day, you can do the tour of the lake, it is a beautiful flat and accessible walk for all, with very beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The fishermen can drop their lines and there is a campervan stopover nearby!

Finally, at the end of the day, after all these activities, do not forget to go for a swim in the lake, because in the end, that’s what you came for, didn’t you? No, not only that? ;)
