To the West of Bordeaux, the region's capital, the Bay of Arcachon is like a small paradise. Beaches, sand-banks, iselts, saltings, rivers, inlets and marshes surround the vast expanse of water where fishermen, oyster-breeders and sports lovers mingle. The Arguin Sand-Bank, a migratory bird reserve and the unusual, serene Island of Birds are also an integral part of the soul of the Bay of Arcachon.
Offering nice weather, pure water, and a preserved natural area, Arcachon is the right place for sailing, fishing, walking and swimming. The resourceful Tourist Information Centre will help you organise unforgettable boat or cycle trips.
Arcachon provides all the features of an exclusive seaside resort: miles of sand beaches, casino, fine restaurants, international golf course, impressive tennis facilities...
If you stay longer, Arcachon will be the perfect base from which to explore the treasures of the Bordeaux wine region, including many renowned golf courses.
