Laguilb, Cap Ferret seen from the inside

A simple, honest guide to enjoying the peninsula: beaches, good restaurants, walks and useful information.

Who is behind Laguilb?

My name is Louis and I have been coming to Cap Ferret since I was born. My family has been on the peninsula for years: we know it in every season, from the Pointe to the oyster villages, from the ocean beaches to the huts of the Bassin.

Laguilb is Cap Ferret seen by a local: the places we really go to, the ones we recommend to friends coming for the first time. Alongside the blog, I also paint pictures of the peninsula and the Bassin.

What you will find here

  • Practical guides: beaches, where to eat, where to stay, what to do depending on the weather and the season.
  • Tides: times and coefficients for swimming, shellfish gathering or boating.
  • Tried-and-tested places and local tips, updated regularly.

Only places we have tried

No lists copied from the internet here. We only recommend restaurants, bars, beaches and tips we have tried ourselves, places we have actually been to. Every review is 100% genuine: what we liked, and also what we liked less.

Some links on the site are affiliate links: if you book through them, Laguilb earns a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never influences our choices.
