A small seaside resort with a village-like atmosphere, set behind the dune along the Contis stream. Canoeing down the river is a must during the summer months. In Contis, everyone knows each other. The resort cultivates a particular state of mind which can be summed up in a few words: nature, freedom, privacy and, of course, surf. Contis is highly appreciated by celebrities for its discretion and for its International Film Festival, every year in the month of June. The village is home to five kilometres of beaches dominated by the only lighthouse on the Landes coast : built in 1862, it culminates at more than 50 metres, offering a view of the ocean and the forest at its summit, well worth the 183 steps to reach it.
