Cap Ferret Beach in Bordeaux, France

Plan a visit to France's secret south sea and stop by the beautiful and unique Cap Ferret, one of the finest beach destinations in France. Located just an hour from Bordeaux, Cap Ferret sits at the tip of the long thin Peninsula of dunes and forest that form the western side of the Bassin d'Arcachon. Reserve a car hire in Bordeaux for your visit to Cap Ferret, France.

You won't spot many other foreign tourists on your visit to Cap Ferret, as this small corner of France is still amazingly fresh to tourism. Here you will find an unpretentious and cosy atmosphere, charming bed and breakfasts and excellent cuisine.

Atlantic seafood forms the basis of many of Cap Ferret's local specialities. Try the Oysters and mussels here as they are plentiful in these beautiful waters. Take your time and make your way around to the local restaurants at your own pace in a Bordeaux car rental.

In addition to excellent food, Cap Ferret has an impressive 25 kilometre long, pristine beach. Backed by sand dunes, it is one of the longest and most natural stretch of sand dunes occurring along the Atlantic coast. Popular with surfers and families alike, there is much to love on these beaches and in these waters.

More famous perhaps for its lighthouse (lighthouse lovers would know), this upscale resort town is the perfect place to catch a bit of beach during your next French vacation.
