    Why take the boat?

    By road

    1h15 to 2h in summer

    The dune is visible from the Cap — but by road you drive up the whole peninsula, around the basin via Biganos, then down to Pyla and its saturated car park. Over 80 km for 4 km as the crow flies.

    By sea

    10 min

    10 minutes across the basin entrance from the Bélisaire pier, with the Banc d'Arguin on the way. Landing on the beach at the foot of the dune, tide permitting.

    FAQ

    At the Bélisaire pier, in the heart of the village.

    Your skipper does it for you — beach landing at the dune depends on tide and swell, and the alternative drop is the Moulleau pier.
