Cap Ferret
© Jean Saint-Martin

Description : The extremity of Cap Ferret is known as "La Pointe". To fight off attacks by the wind, waves and storms, wooden pillars known as "ganivelles" have been inserted in the sand. Between 1977 and 1996 the sea ate 440 meters from the land on this specific beach. In the back you see the huge silhouette of the Dune du Pyla.
