Highlights include the iconic Dune of Pilat, Europe’s tallest sand dune, and the serene pine forests perfect for leisurely bike rides.
For accommodation, Hôtel des Pins is a charming throwback to the 1930s in a tranquil location on the bassin side. Initially a theatre, it was converted into a hotel by a former Bordeaux footballer in 1999. The hotel features 13 rooms, a restaurant, and a terrace. Another option is Hôtel des Dunes, the first hotel to open in Cap Ferret in 1969, which recently reopened after a complete restoration. Located in the sand dunes, a short walk from the ocean, it has a surfy vibe with 13 simple and retro rooms featuring tiled headboards, Bakelite phones, and striped deck chairs on the terraces. For a more personal touch, consider La Maison du Bassin, a favourite for nearly three decades or consider renting a cottage for an authentic local experience.
