In the northern tip of the Médoc, this is the largest seaside resort of the Aquitaine region. It is tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gironde Estuary on the Côte d'Argent (Silver Coast), and has a splendid seven-kilometre long sandy beach framed by dunes. As well as beach life there is mountain-biking, horse-riding, even sky diving on offer. The Romanesque Notre-Dame de la Fin des Terres basilica is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
