A weathered wooden boardwalk stretches across protected dune grasslands toward the azure waters of Arcachon Basin, with the massive Dune du Pilat rising beyond the tranquil bay. This elevated pathway within the Sentier de l'Abécédaire trail system exemplifies modern coastal management principles, allowing over 200,000 annual visitors to experience this remarkable transition zone between marine and terrestrial environments while minimizing human impact on the delicate root systems of dune-stabilizing plants that have been carefully reintroduced since the 1970s to combat erosion and preserve this fragile ecosystem.
