Cap Ferret, from lighthouse to ocean edge

Climb for the wide view, then take an unhurried walk between bay and Atlantic.

When the lighthouse is open, its 258 steps lead to a far-reaching view of the peninsula, Arguin and the ocean passes. Check opening information before you go. Around the tip, stay on public paths and keep well away from unstable edges and strong currents.

Make it a date

Leave a little room for the weather, the tide and whatever catches your attention along the way.
