Lacanau Océan is a lively beach resort 13 kms away. Famous for surf and the professional surf championshipst that take place there each year in August.
See http://www.lacanau-pro.com/.
The beach is beautiful and the surf can be big.
There is a surf school and you can hire boards easily in the town. Beware of swimming out of your depth as the offshore currents are strong. The town beach is keenly patrolled by lifeguards.
The beach extends 50 km either side of Lacanau but there are very few easy access points. However there are quiet spots which involve a walk in through the pine forest and over sand dunes where there will be few other people. One favourite is called 'LAlexandre, a few kms north of Lacanau Ocean.
The best way to travel to the beach is by bicycle. It is 13 km along the excellent network of bicyle tracks that run through the forest.

There is also a very cheap shuttle bus service (Navette) between Lacanau Lake and Lacanau Ocean. You can buy a weekly pass.
