Train, bus or private transfer to Arcachon
The TER train from Bordeaux Saint-Jean takes about 55 minutes to Arcachon station and is inexpensive, but it is crowded in summer, awkward with luggage or surfboards, and it stops in the town centre — not at the Dune du Pilat, Pyla villas or Cap Ferret. A private transfer runs door to door in roughly one hour, on your schedule, and handles the luggage.
