The Dune du Pilat was very enjoyable and could have stayed longer but it was nice to get back on the bike again and cycle down the coast. I was informed that it was a public holiday in France and places would be busy.

The route was quite varied passing alongside a few lakes, surf beaches and significant forest in the inland sections.

Stopping at the spectacular beaches of Biscarrosse and Mimizan broke up the ride, there seemed to be some kind of event occurring at Biscarrosse with a large gathering of people on the seafront.

I reached the seaside village of Cap de L’homy by the early evening, where I visited the beach and stayed at the campsite.
