Le jardin D’arguin kitesurf spot
France · Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Overview
Le Jardin d'Arguin is a kitesurf spot near the Banc d'Arguin in the Bassin d'Arcachon (Gironde), just inside the basin entrance south of Cap-Ferret. This tidal sandbank area offers unique flat water conditions with the Dune du Pilat as a backdrop.
Tidal spot — the Banc d'Arguin is a protected natural reserve and partially emerged sandbank. Be very attentive to tidal conditions as the area floods quickly. Boat traffic at the basin entrance can be heavy. The Dune du Pilat (Europe's tallest sand dune) is visible nearby. A scenic and technically interesting spot.
