Heaven for family sports
Le Touquet-Paris-Plage and its first class sports facilities make it the ultimate destination for fitness fans. Families are spoilt for choice: quadricycles, pony rides, horse and carriage rides, bike rides, beach clubs etc. Not forgetting the resort's signature land-sailing.

Enduropale du Touquet
If you want to leave the extreme beach sports to the professionals (or even have a go at competing against them) then don't miss the Enduropale du Touquet. Held in February every year this race sees more than 1,000 competitors battle it out across the beach and dunes on motorbikes and sand quads. The race is open to anybody and is free to enter, though if you're more happy in a deckchair than on a saddle the action still makes for an enjoyable spectacle.
