Travel Tip: What to Do in Cap Ferret
Situated in Gironde, France, Cap Ferret is not only popular for its lighthouse but also for a high-class resort at the center of the Pays de Buch and Landes of Gascony.
This headland could be accessed by land, train and ferry, and hence it’s been attracting a significant number of local travelers every year.
Daily Mail UK Travel contributing writer Michael Hanlon has seen for himself the beauty of this little town during his recent visit to this seemingly secret French getaway (“France by Chance: Sand Dunes, Cycle Trails and Scrummy Seafood in Cap Ferret”). He first knew about Cap Ferret when he cycled from Bordeaux to Biarritz, and this time, he decided to revisit this wonderful place as he can’t deny how he has been successfully captivated by its beauty.
Here’s a quick excerpt from his recent trip to Cap Ferret:
To the east is a lovely bay, Bassin d’Arcachon, all glittering blue water and antique yachts. To the west, a third of a mile across the peninsula is the beach, mile after mile of wave-lashed Cote Atlantique, surfers and skim boarders (the latest retro craze) splashing through some of the cleanest waters in Europe… A few old Nazi fortifications (covered with graffiti) are tumbling into the Bay of Biscay; there is a campaign to save them from the waves as they form part — albeit a rather unpopular one — of France’s heritage.
