It’s definitely worth visiting, even though parking might seem a bit expensive at first (€7 for cars, with higher rates for campers and motorhomes). Ideally, bring a backpack with water and snacks, and leave some space for your shoes — it’s really nice to go barefoot!

Really enjoyed going, be prepared for a steep climb there are stairs for those that don’t want to face the climb in the sand, I would suggest removing your shoes however otherwise it will rub your feet raw. There is a lovely area to sit and picnic but also a few restaurants and food stalls all reasonable priced, you can get a small bottle of water for 1 euro and a large is 3. There is also lots to see there and it’s very informative with activity and educational areas for children and adults alike and there is plenty of parking where you can pay by card with your ticket at the exit barrier if you forget to bring it with you and although parking is 7 euros you do not pay for entry so we felt it was good value for money.

Absolutely breathtaking! Climbing up is a bit of a workout, but the panoramic views of the ocean and forest are 100% worth it. Perfect spot to relax, watch the sunset, or just take in the beauty. A must-visit!

Dune du Pilat is a breathtaking natural site and the tallest sand dune in Europe. The climb can be challenging, but the panoramic views from the top are absolutely worth it. Perfect spot for a unique nature experience, with clean facilities and plenty of space to relax or explore. A must-visit if you're in the area!

Incredible and beautiful views, with good facilities. The bathroom was kept clean. However, it was quite busy.

Amazing and beautiful! Well worth the trek to the top, the view is spectacular. The site itself is very well laid out. There's plenty of places to lock bikes, toilets, and water fountains. Before you get to the steps to the top, there's several shops, cafes, and restaurants, plus benches in shady spots for picnics.

Pretty place. Our second visit was much colder in December obviously than early October. Not wheelchair accessible and a pretty steep climb for anyone with limited mobility or even a heart problem! Pretty sunsets.
