the heart of the camp
community, connection, & sustainability
Since 2012, Vegan Surf Camp has been more than just a destination. We’re a place where people come together to share a love for the ocean, plant-based food, and sustainable living. Our goal? To make a positive impact by connecting people to nature, to each other, and to a healthier, kinder way of life. Run by the non-profit Association L’Amour de la Terre, our camp is built around a simple but powerful idea: a balanced life that’s good for you and the planet.
what we stand for

Honoring Nature with Eco-Friendly Choices
At Vegan Surf Camp, sustainability isn’t just a practice—it’s part of who we are. Every detail, from our reclaimed wood lounges to eco-friendly glamping tents, is thoughtfully designed to respect the environment. Our meals are entirely plant-based, made with organic, locally sourced ingredients to reduce our carbon footprint and support local farmers. We’ve created recycling stations, composting systems, and water-saving systems to reduce waste. Staying with us means experiencing nature up close and knowing that every choice we make here honors the planet we all share.

Creating a Space Where Connections Thrive
Vegan Surf Camp is a place where connections happen naturally. Our group meals, shared surf lessons, and evening gatherings are all about creating bonds that go beyond small talk. By living, learning, and laughing together, everyone feels part of a community where they belong. Our activities and discussions bring people from all backgrounds together, celebrating our shared commitment to sustainability, wellness, and compassion. This is a place where lasting friendships and inspiring conversations happen—leaving you feeling enriched and understood.

Giving Back to the Sea That Gives Us So Much
For surfers, the ocean isn’t just water—it’s life. Every week, we come together to keep our beaches pristine through hands-on clean-ups that make a real impact. These efforts are a reminder that the sea needs us to protect it, and together we’re stronger in making a difference. Even our gear reflects our dedication: our eco-friendly wetsuits and sustainable surfboards from brands like Notox and Picture Organic Clothing mean that each wave we ride aligns with our love for the environment. Protecting the ocean is our way of giving back to the waves that give us so much joy.

Food That’s Good for You—and the Planet
Our meals at Vegan Surf Camp are more than just food—they’re a celebration of plant-based living. Each dish is crafted from seasonal, organic ingredients, sourced from local farms, and packed with flavor, nutrients, and creativity. Even our tofu and seitan are homemade by artisans within our community here in France, giving you the freshest taste of sustainable dining. Shared meals become moments to discover how amazing a compassionate, plant-based lifestyle can be. Here, you’ll see firsthand how delicious, nutritious, and joyful vegan cuisine really is.
