Port de Larros

Port de Larros is a fishing port in Arcachon Bay featuring wooden piers, colorful oyster farming huts, and moored boats. The site serves mainly for oyster production and direct sales by local farmers.

The port emerged in the 19th century as oyster farming became the region's main economic activity. The Dubourdieu shipyard contributed to its development by building traditional fishing vessels.

The port reflects the identity of local oyster farming, which has shaped life here for generations. The colorful huts along the water and the daily work of farmers show how deeply the community is tied to the sea.

The port is freely accessible during daylight hours and offers direct tasting from producers at their waterfront cabins. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes, as piers and pathways can be slippery.

Traditional pinasse boats were built here for many years and remain a symbol of local craftsmanship. Some of these wooden vessels were constructed using methods passed down for centuries.
