Verdant maritime pine forests shelter the exclusive residential community along Cap Ferret's eastern shoreline, where carefully managed development follows the natural contours of this fragile sandbar peninsula. This 25-kilometer-long finger of land, constantly reshaped by ocean currents and winds, represents a delicate balance between nature and human habitation, with strict building codes requiring new structures to preserve native vegetation that stabilizes the sandy soil and protects against erosion that threatens to breach the peninsula during increasingly powerful Atlantic storms.
