People who enjoy the waves will be able to come and experience the ocean here. With jet skiing, sailing and surfing, all sorts of exciting watersports are available on one of the loveliest parts of the Côte d'Argent. To discover the ocean world in tranquillity, how about a walk or a spot of fishing? Or you could go sailing in the Gironde estuary and visit the Cordouan lighthouse.
Northern Médoc was also a strategically-important zone during the Second World War, with blockhouses and fortresses scattered along the coast, some of which are open to the public. The Musée du Souvenir covers this crucial period in time. And for a cultural outing, Soulac sur Mer has a museum of art and archaeology. Set up in a building close to the seafront, this includes collections focusing on the entire history of the Médoc peninsula.
And you can't possible leave Soulac sur Mer without trying some of its typical local dishes. Here, ocean and river take pride of place, with fish and shellfish comprising the vital ingredients for traditional recipes. And the dishes you enjoy could be accompanied by some of the region's wines such as Château Lafite and Château Mouton-Rothschild. The wines of the Médoc have a worldwide reputation and a unique balance of minerals.
Come and discover all the scents, colours and flavours of the Médoc peninsula during your camping holiday in Soulac sur Mer.
