<h2>Where is the Banc d’Arguin located?</h2>
<p>The <strong>Banc d’Arguin</strong> is a long tongue of sand stretching off the Arcachon Basin at La <a href="/camping-gironde-4-etoiles/tourisme/la-teste-de-buch/">Teste-de-Buch</a>. It lies between the Dune du Pilat and the tip of Cap Ferret. Around 4 km long and 2 km wide at low tide, its shape and geographical position fluctuate regularly under the influence of wind and currents. The Banc d’Arguin is a<strong> nature reserve</strong> home to a host of bird species. To get there, you have no other option than to<strong> take the boat</strong>: you can use a cab boat or the maritime shuttles of the Union des Bateliers Arcachonnais. The first depart from Arcachon or Lège-cap Ferret. The latter will depart from either Lège-Cap Ferret or Dune du Pilat.</p>
<p>From our <a href="/camping-gironde-4-etoiles/">campsite in Gironde</a>, L’Arbre d’Or, it takes around 36 km to get to Robinson beach at Dune du Pilat, or 92 km to get to the Bélisaire jetty in Lège-Cap Ferret, where you can embark for the Banc d’Arguin. Departure from Lège-Cap Ferret is in the morning at 10:00 or 11:15 depending on the season, and the return shuttle leaves at 17:30. The crossing takes 40 minutes (15 minutes from Dune du Pilat). Pack a picnic lunch, water and a tube of sun cream and set off to <strong>enjoy your day on the Banc d’Arguin</strong>.</p>
