Spring
The days are getting longer, the birds are singing and the trees are budding... Spring is back and with it the desire to take your time.
A landscape in bloom, activities, guided nature tours, events such as Le Salon du Printemps, and an inimitable sweetness of life await you from March.
Take a stroll around the protected natural site of Quinconces, which boasts a brand new blanket of greenery where you can come across egrets, herons or pond turtles: don't forget your camera!
From there, a few minutes by bike will take you to the oyster port, with its colorful huts with typical charm, then to the city center and its promenade pier which will offer you a panorama of the entire Arcachon Bay. Take advantage of the surrounding shops and restaurants to savor the pleasure of a moment on a terrace.
SUMMER
Real vacations happen in summer and in Andernos!
Enjoy these sunny days punctuated by daily entertainment: local festivals, shows, concerts and unmissable events such as Andernos Jazz Festival!
For those who dream of relaxing, with their feet fanned out on the warm sand, we invite you to one of the many beaches bordering Andernos, at high tide and low tide.
And after swimming, boating or crab fishing, there's nothing like enjoying an ice cream facing the pool and taking advantage of the shops in the city center to enhance your summer wardrobe.
FALL
The beauty of the late season, as the colours of autumn spread across the foliage of Andernos' natural sites, is not to be missed.
Head to the jetty where you can observe migratory birds, such as the brant geese, which return each year to spend the winter on the basin.
And if ornithology is not your forte, perhaps gourmet food will be? On the market stalls, feast on seasonal products, such as porcini mushrooms and chanterelles. And who knows, during your walks, you might even pick some in the surrounding forests!
WINTER
When the seaside takes on the hues of winter, it adds emotion and authenticity to the landscapes: another facet of the basin to discover!
Disconnect, reconnect and enjoy the calm surroundings to take a deep breath of sea air by the pool or the ocean: there is nothing more invigorating! And it remains the ideal excuse to continue your day with a gourmet tasting in the city center, where you can also finish your Christmas shopping.
Once a year, the 45 typical and colorful cabins of the oyster port open to the public. More than 20 visitors come to taste oysters directly from the producer and white wine from the Entre-Deux-Mers winegrowers: Cabanes en Fête has become in just a few years the unmissable event of the month of December! Legend has it that oysters are better in winter. We love them all year round, but tasting oysters from the basin during the enchanting holiday season makes them particularly tasty!
As for the youngest, they will be delighted to learn that Santa Claus always stops off in Andernos during the school holidays!
