Just a five-minute walk from the house, Port de la Vigne is the beating heart of the village.
With its expansive beach, its pier, its waterfront restaurants, and the steady ballet of boats docking...
It is also from this very pier that the private water shuttle departs, ready to take you on a journey to discover the treasures of the Cap-Ferret Peninsula. Set sail to explore the Bay: the Banc d’Arguin, the Île aux Oiseaux (Bird Island), the Dune of Pilat, or the iconic Cabanes Tchanquées (stilt houses)!
For thrill-seekers, a wide array of water sports awaits: scuba diving, jet skiing, water skiing, tubed rides, ocean kayaking or canoeing, paddleboarding, windsurfing, e-foiling, boat rentals, and even deep-sea sport fishing.
The harbor itself remains modest and intimate—a far cry from the much larger oyster-farming hubs found over in Piraillan or Le Canon. But that is exactly where its charm lies: you can still feel the atmosphere of an authentic Arcachon Bay fishing village, complete with colorful huts and oyster baskets waiting right on the docks.
For those who prefer to keep their feet on solid ground, the large beach right next to the harbor is absolutely perfect for a lazy afternoon of pure relaxation. The more adventurous can even brave the channel's current and swim out to the pontoon to rest or try a few dives. Just be mindful, as the currents can catch you by surprise when the tide turns.
Looking for a quieter, more secluded spot? The little Bay-side beach is just a stone's throw away, practically right outside the house. And if the open sea is calling your name instead, the ocean is only a fifteen-minute walk in the opposite direction.
After a day out on a boat or by the water, the Jacuzzi in the Poseidon room offers the ultimate moment of relaxation to unwind from the daytime bustle. And for those who prefer a good book over a warm, massaging soak, the private terrace of each room remains safely tucked away from the lively energy of the harbor.
