This incredible European coastal city in France is famous for its pristine beaches, the highest sand dune in Europe, and its annual oyster festival.
South of Bordeaux, on the French coast, lies a charming seaside paradise: the town of Arcachon. It boasts stunning landscapes and pristine beaches.
Arcachon offers a wide variety of experiences, writes Mirror. Arcachon Bay, in particular, is famous for its fishing and oyster farming, and it hosts its own oyster festival every summer.
The city offers a wide range of activities, from jet skiing to kayaking, cycling, and electric scooter riding. Shoppers will be captivated by the boutiques, while food enthusiasts can indulge in the exquisite local cuisine. The Pila Dune, the highest sand dune in Europe, also attracts tourists.
Travel blogger Anna has already explored this gem and was completely enchanted. In a TikTok video, the tourist shows Arcachon, describing it as follows: “A French coastal city that you may not have heard of… but it’s definitely worth adding to your bucket list… Arcachon.”
One of the commenters wrote: “We were there last year and really enjoyed it.”
Another TikTok user echoed Anna’s assessment: “I was there in the summer, incredibly beautiful.” Another visitor also strongly recommended a stop at Pila Dune, calling it “something special”.
