In contrast to the beaches of the Cote d'Azur, Arcachon completely lacks such attributes of beach entertainment as inflatable slides, riding on bananas and catamarans.
However, you can always take a boat trip around the bay, visit Bird Island and watch the birds, as well as fish to your heart's content.
Windsurfing is another popular water activity in Arcachon due to the tides.
The original windsurfing option was sand surfing on the Pila dune. Try it for sure and we are sure you will love it.
