Lacanau Ocean & Sand Dune - Lacanau & Dune du Pilat, Aquitance

Took a relax weekend to go Lacanau Ocean and visiting a sand dune.
Love the ocean alot! Cos' there aren't any beaches in Toulouse. First day, we went to the ocean. Wonderful place! As long as the children love it!

2nd day, went to the sand dune. Only need to pay 4euros for parking lot, no need to pay for any entrance fees unlike some tourist atttaction. Went with 2 young children. I would say its better to bring a carrier to carry babies and toddlers. Although I do see some people pushing their strollers (its possible but may be difficult to push once you reach the sandy area) and after that you can leave your stroller and climb up the steps. It's better to wear shoes or slippers which you do not mind sand going into. I saw alot of people taking off their shoes to walk instead. Once we reached the top by stairs, we are greeted by strong wind (remember your sunglasses as sand could go into your eyes) and magnificent views of the forest and sea. Some people bring a picnic, however, it is easy to find food at cafes. They serve yummy food at reasonable price. Alot of people there speak English. There are shops selling clothes, accessories, postcards, toys and alot more. You find a tap nearby to wash sand off your body too. We really love the place. Adults get to take nice photos and children get to play with the sand.

I treasure my weekends!
