1. Dune du Pilat
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3 reviews
The highest dune in Europe, a unique landscape with an incredible panoramic view over the ocean, forest and Arcachon Bay but also and more importantly, a living, natural space that needs to be looked after and protected. Since December 2007, the Syndicat Mixte de la Grande Dune du Pilat has been working to protect and preserve this national piece of heritage that belongs to us all.From the top of this giant (109 meters high, 2,7 kilometers long, 500 meters wide), you can see many remarkable sites of the region.

Treetops Adventure Tracks Between Bordeaux & Arcachon Adults And Children Strating From 3 Years Old
Reviewed By Holly29 - London, UK
One of my kids loves high ropes and the other doesn't and this place was just perfect - lots of different circuits at different levels and even a very well equipped adventure playground for the 3-8 year olds, with mini high ropes, a castle, trampolined, flying fox etc for those who don't want to do the high ropes. Staff could not have been friendlier and spoke perfect English. Very good equipment and a full safety briefing and everything top quality so I was not at worried about the kids going on the high ropes at all. Really friendly place with a nice snack bar, shady places to sit and overall a very good day out. Highly recommended for ages 3 to adult (my eldest is 8 so we didn't do the truly high circuits but they looked amazing!).

An amazing spectacle. Climb to the top to enjoy the view (your legs will feel it). The views are spectacular and even the WW2 German fortifications that have fallen down the dune add atmosphere.
4. La Chapelle de la Villa Algerienne
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 127 reviews
Reviewed By Cole G
I love to explore the old churches. The fantastic architecture just doesn't exist in modern structures. This one is simple and tidy with not a lot of embellishment. It has beautiful creamy stone and a short bit of history available to read. It's tucked away on the basin side of the cape at the end of a road. You can sit on the benches outside and watch the oyster farmers and the water, or walk a short way further to rent a boat, or visit some vendors.

7. Parc de la Coccinelle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 644 reviews
Reviewed By Round_Earth - Geneva, Switzerland
... just much, much smaller.
Well, ok, it's not really like Disneyland but still a very well maintained little theme parc perfect for 2-8 year olds and their parents.
Rides are simple but well adapted to their age target and our little one was super happy about the giant slides, water parc, trampolines and well-kept animal section.
The only downside faced on the trip there, which took much longer than planned due to traffic congestion.
8. Zoo Bassin d'Arcachon

Reviewed By blueskysFrance - Eymet, France
The big cats here are supurb, but in general the whole place is too small, very cramped cages for meerkats, cheetahs wonder up and down the fencing, boried, very little to entertain any of the animals, including the monkeys, the water ways were very smelly needed cleaning, we were there for around three hours and did not see one member of staff. The worst part was seeing a leopard with a very sore tail, and what looked like a very sick nearly dead voiture, the kids were upset to see the poor thing. A real shame a the collection of animals is really superb.
9. La Pointe du Cap Ferret
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 487 reviews
Reviewed By MadDocNI - Belfast, United Kingdom
The Pointe is at the end of the Cap Ferret peninsula, and there is not a very wide entrance past it into the Bassin d'Arcachon. On the far side are huge sand dunes, apparently the largest in Europe, just south-west of Arcachon.
The waves at the Pointe are sometimes enormous, even in modest wind, as the Atlantic rollers meet the draining Bassin.
Large sand dunes at the Pointe too, and quite a walk to get to them, the ones at the very end being closed to the public.
A large cafe and parking close by.
Worth a visit.
10. Observatoire Sainte-Cecile
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 348 reviews
Reviewed By Wola - Nice, France
We climbed to the top of the tower and were delighted with the amazing view of Arcachon and the Ville d'Hiver houses all around. The circular four story climb is easy and the top of the tower is limited to 8 visitors so you can readily see who is ascending and descending. The neighborhood around the tower (Ville d'hived) is also filled with the stunning Beaux Arts homes of the 19th century and well worth a walk through the streets behind the tower.
