Beautiful views of Arcachon from the end of this pier which is also where you get the foot ferries to spots around the bay. Heritage Insight - Jetée Thiers, Arcachon Long before Arcachon’s promenade bustled with cafés and sunseekers, fishermen here launched flat-bottomed pinasses into the sheltered waters of the Bassin. These sturdy boats ferried nets, oysters, and news between La Teste-de-Buch, Cap Ferret, and Andernos. The arrival of the Bordeaux–Arcachon railway in 1857 transformed the town into a thriving seaside health resort. By the 1880s, steam launches and early ferries began running from Jetée Thiers, marking the shift from subsistence crossings to leisure and tourism routes that opened the bay to visitors. Today’s modern launches still echo those early journeys, carrying day-trippers across the same waters that once linked fishing villages in quiet interdependence. Very good and delicious pizzas here. Boats to Cape Ferret. The beach/water on the Atlantic side of Cape Ferret is fantastic and not to be missed. A problem is street car parking in Arcachon is typically max 4 hours, meaning I had to rush the trip and only had around 90 minutes on the beach. The ferry is nice if expensive (28EUR for me & 10 year old). Beautiful. Quiet when visited, so even more enjoyable. This is a great service for getting about. I took this boat across to Cap Ferret, about 30 minutes each way. The tickets are very reasonable, €15 return per person, bought from the vendor at the top of the pier. Beautiful view at archachon, I guess it alot more fun during summer there Excellent ferry service to Cap Ferret but make sure you get there a good 15mins before sailing on busy days.
