The La Coubre lighthouse is located in the commune of La Tremblade, at the northern end of the Gironde estuary, the largest in Europe. This sentinel of the sea plays a fundamental role for the maritime traffic in this turbulent part of the coast. After climbing 300 steps in a blue Opal interior, a 360° panorama offers breathtaking views of La Tremblade “Côte Sauvage” and its wonderful beaches, the Coubre forest, the Gironde estuary, and Oléron. The visit continues in the lighthouse base with a museum relating this “light giant’s” history and the different equipment required to function. On site: an exhibition room and a shop. In July and August, a food truck is available for refreshments and throughout summer every tuesday and thursday during sunset, a commented climb of the lighthouse is offered.
