Very cool place indeed, watch the stars at night from the dune or fly a kite, lovely beach , lovely area for biking , great place for families with kids too!

Amazing views and great sand! Hike to the top and run down to the sea!

Gabriele Guidoni

Unofficial entrance by Avenue de l’Observatoire through a breach in the concrete fence; Open 24/7 - 365 days per year; Warning: Prepare for a difficult 30°- 40° steepness climb in the sand;

Liesbeth Van Vynckt

Worth the hike for sure. Amazing views , stunning nature and if you go quite early, lovely peace and quiet

Climb up the dune and down to the ocean! It's a unique experience, don't miss it!

Audun Ingebrigtsen

Pack light, go in swimming clothes and a blanket to sit on. Prepare for a bit strenuous climb back up from the beach .

A must-see, but you have to accept that there are a lot of tourists and way too expensive tourist shops everywhere.

Go just before sunset for the best view

Ein Naturwunder das man erlebt haben sollte. Wunderbar sauberer Strand mit herrlich frischem und klarem Wasser . Wirklich beeindruckend. Tolle Aussicht! Anstrengender Anstieg.

Emilia Von Wnuck Lipinski

Perfekt zum Chillen und Gleitschirmfliegen! Meer, Strand , perfekte Sonnenuntergänge und die schöne Stadt Arcachon in der Nähe. Ausserdem jede Menge Campingplätze .

Olga Sala

Para evitar la cola de entrada a los parkings, ve hasta el Hotel La Corniche y deja el coche allí. Sigue la calle para abajo y a mano derecha hay una entrada "secreta" a la duna .

marie L

Extraordinaire magnificience de la nature, ces dunes de sable posées là. Entre mer et forêt , le vent fait oublier le soleil , la nature reprends ses droits et l'Homme contemple. MAGNIFIQUE!

Ksenia Slavnikova

Великолепие, которое сотворила природа . Вход бесплатный. Ветер сильный. Идти лучше в шлепках и на горе их снять, убрать в рюкзак. Впечатления незабываемые

Anna Kutsenko

До океана добраться не просто, но это того стоит. Уникальная природная аномалия, поражает масштабом.

Camping Les Grands Pins

Un site où on ne se lasse pas de visiter, une vue panoramique et aussi sa plage , c'est aussi un spot rêvé pour les photographes

Guillaume Francois

Venez voir le coucher du soleil au sommet de la plus haute dune d'Europe , c'est magique ;)

Felix Solis

El contraste bosque-duna-agua es increíble.

Siggi Dortd

außergewöhnlicher Ausblick. An sehr heißen Tagen immer ein kühler Wind. Zuerst muss die Düne erklettert werden, durchaus sportlich.
