The Phare is worth a stop to enjoy the wide view over the pine forests and the sea. Several bike paths and trails lead to the lighthouse, more or less suitable depending on the bike.

The Contis lighthouse is the only lighthouse in the Landes department. Commissioned in 1863, it stands 41.5 meters high 860 meters from the shore.
The lighthouse was painted with a double white and black stripe in 1937, so that it could be used for daytime navigation.
This lighthouse, which also serves as a radio relay, can be visited for 3 euros per person.translated by•January 26, 2023
