The most beautiful natural sites to discover Aquitaine

Yes, vineyard used to be grown here, on the Cap Ferret peninsula. Muscat, chasselas or cabernet, the avenues of the penisula still bear the mark. Surrounded by fine sand beaches, the village has superb villas scattered on the slope of the dune and its marina, dating back to 1960 and built on former fish tanks, is quite remarkable. Here the tide arises less than elsewhere, due to the unusual layout of the coast and the channels. Thus a large cement pontoon could be built in order to load heavy tonnages on boats.

Municipal authorization of January 27, 1984. Swimming monitored by MND from July to August.

The beach is well marked by signposts from the exit of Royan's tray… it bodes well! - Just follow them up to the parking lot. Bathing is monitored. It is a moderately busy beach. Beautiful view on the lighthouse of Cordoba. The left side of the beach is exclusively naturist, the right side is textile, in the center there is no one. Bathing is monitored on both sides.

Municipal authorization of February 25, 1984. 2 km south of the Gressier beach.

Great and very beautiful beach exclusively naturist that is managed by the center. Dangerous but supervised. Attendance is important near access to the beach, it is family. If you are not in the center, just follow La Jenny Road to the end, without turning left towards the center entrance. You arrive at a large parking lot frequented by the surfers and you can only reach the beach by the dunes.

Only on uncontrolled beaches

Dogs are allowed only outside the bathing area.

This tongue of land, which plunges into the ocean, concentrates many of the challenges of an area classified as a Regional Nature Park: its preserved nature, its unique and incredibly varied landscapes from the vineyards to the lakes; from the ocean to the forest, its water, its estuary, its forestry economy, its traditions, its companies with unique know-how, but also its social and economic fragilities. The Park extends over 51 communes, 4 communities of communes and brings together 4 major landscape entities.

Stretching over more than 3 km, the beach of Hendaye is a privileged site with a panorama that extends from the Spanish shores to the 2 large rocks called "the Twins" which are, perhaps, the most characteristic of the city. The beach is a good compromise, both for beginners and for experienced surfers in search of sensations. The beach operators offer various services such as the rental of tents, deckchairs and beach clubs. In summer, sand castle contests follow Zumba classes and yoga initiations.
