Today we will talk about the largest dune in all of Europe, which becomes a spectacular beach that is obviously difficult to get to. It is 108 meters high, although this number varies, since the dunes are not static, but move with the action of the wind. The views from the air are spectacular.
This Dune of Pilat, or Dune du Pyla, in French, is located between a large forest and the Atlantic Ocean. Although it is a quiet place, it is possible to always meet people, since it is a very beautiful natural space that many people want to see. The experience is certainly worth it.
This dune can be reached by road, although access becomes more difficult every year, because the dune advances about 5 meters per year. When you get to it, you have to ascend its more than one hundred meters, which is pretty tough aerobic work. It is recommended to go light, since it costs a lot. The good news is that they have enabled some stairs with 154 steps with railing, so that everyone can reach the top.
From there you can stroll through the vast expanse of sand, and lie down to tomar el sol on the beach, the least inclined area next to the sea. It is a very natural and quiet place, which can be visited as a family. We are sure that for children, and also for many adults, the experience of rolling down the dunes will be unmatched. Fun is assured.
These dunes are in the part northern france, in the Bay of Biscay, specifically in the Arcachon Bay. The forest is also a very beautiful place, which you have to pass to reach the great dune, which is spectacular from below.
