Sunset over Bassin d' Arcachon, France

The Arcachon Basin  is a lagoon mésotidale located in the Landes de Gascogne , in Gironde , between the towns of La Teste-de-Buch south, Lege-Cap-Ferret in west and the delta of the Leyre east. He only stops the dunes 250 km from the Silver Coast , which stretches from the Gironde estuary to the river Adour . Unlike large lakes Landes , it is wide open to the Atlantic Ocean through the passes of the Arcachon basin and is a small sea inside 155 km² to tide high and 40 km² at low tide. We practice the ' oyster farming , fishing and boating. Since 8 June 2014, it houses the Marine Park of Arcachon .
