Visit the museum and shop at the Lighthouse boutique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the ascent, take an interactive stroll through the monument, exploring the history of navigation and nautical cartography. Before you leave, make sure to visit the Lighthouse boutique for gifts you won't find anywhere else. It's actually one of the locals' favorite shops, where they stop to find gifts for their guests!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stroll along the Ab\u00e9c\u00e9daire des Dunes (ABC\u2019s of the Dune) trail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why not take a walk through the sand dunes? Follow the trail (all\u00e9e des dunes) for 5 km and discover the fauna and flora of Cap Ferret. From the entrance of Cap Ferret to the extreme tip of the peninsula, panels representing each letter of the alphabet will explain everything about the dunes, tides, marine life, and bird migration... That's why it's called the Primer of the Dunes<\/a> !<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Marvel at the tip of Cap Ferret<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take a moment to sit on the sand or on a so-called \u201cBlockhaus\u201d (a World War Two bunker) and enjoy the 180\u00b0 view of the Dune du Pilat, the Banc d'Arguin<\/a> , and the gates of the Bay, while listening to the gentle sound of the water. This is where the calm waters of the Bay meet the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you look closely, you will witness the currents intertwining, it's truly magnificent!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
