Natural heritage

The Banc d'Arguin nature reserve

During a boat trip or from the top of the Dune du Pilat, you can admire this sandbar classified as a nature reserve since 1972. It is the largest on the Gironde coast and extends at low tide over 4 km in length and 2 km wide. Located at the entrance to the Bassin d'Arcachon, transformed by the tides, it is in constant motion. If you have the privilege of setting foot there, you will be able to observe the oyster farmers working in their oyster beds and the incessant ballet of sandwich terns and other migratory birds.
