    Hiking

    Cap Ferret is one of the most popular summer vacation destinations. The headland separates the Bassin d'Arcachon from the Atlantic, the beach with a view of the bay is surrounded by pine forests and therefore isolated from the winds that come from the Atlantic. The main attraction of the cape is the lighthouse, which is open every day. A staircase with 258 steps leads to the top, from where you can look over the entire bay to Arcachon.

    The Cap Ferret lighthouse, as we see it today, dates back to 1947.
    The very first, dating back to 1840, was destroyed by the retreating Germans.
    Remains of a bunker complex can still be seen on site!
    Once at the top of the lighthouse, an incredible view of the entire bay awaits you: the oyster farms, the Île aux Oiseaux, the two sea corridors called "passes," the Dune du Pilat, the ocean...
    A fascinating change of scenery!
    As far as the eye can see, simply breathtaking and incredibly beautiful!
