Nice scenery as pictured

There's a short educational tour around the tower about cork and resin extraction. Unfortunately, it's only in French. It's nice and cool inside, though. There's a small entrance fee. There's no kiosk. You have to go into the village.

Caution in summer, many families

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

This perfectly paved cycle path leads to the pretty Contis-Plage lighthouse on a slight climb. You can see the black and white stripes of the tower looming a little further away.

nice traditional style lighthouse. easy access by 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.
