the hungry dune
Dune du Pyla is the largest sand dune in Europe. You can't miss it. It's immense. It also has a life of its own, in a slightly scary Triffid-type way. It has already swallowed trees, a road junction and an entire hotel! But if this doesn't scare you, then it's worth getting a view from the top (approx 40mins drive).
local delicacy
Oysters are a real delicacy of the region. While you're here it's worth going to the Bassin d'Arcachon (approx 40mins drive). It's a large natural lagoon and its oysters are said to be the best in France. But happily for me Arcachon also has great beaches and good sailing.
