Cap Ferret is een smal schiereiland, bereikbaar met de auto vanuit Bordeaux, met de seizoensgebonden passagiersveerboot over het Bassin van Arcachon, of met het kleine toeristentreintje dat 's zomers de landtong doorkruist. Voor hondenbezitters is het goede nieuws simpel: de veerboot vanuit Arcachon neemt aangelijnde honden mee voor een klein bedrag, en het hele schiereiland is te voet en per fiets te verkennen. Het grootste zomerse probleem is de auto, want parkeerplaatsen bij oceaanstranden zoals Grand Crohot zitten in juli en augustus al vroeg in de middag vol.

| Vervoermiddel | Beleid | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Passenger ferry (UBA, Arcachon to Cap Ferret) | Dogs and cats travel for 2 EUR on the Arcachon to Cap Ferret (Jetée Bélisaire) crossing, which takes about 30 minutes. Dogs must be kept on a lead and under control. Cats must travel in a closed carrier. Pets are not allowed on the meal, fishing or fireworks cruises. | 💡 The Arcachon shuttle runs year-round, the summer-only village routes (Le Canon, Le Moulleau) operate in season. Check the live timetable by date. |
| Petit Train du Cap-Ferret (tourist train) | The little tourist train links Jetée Bélisaire on the Bassin side to Plage de l'Horizon on the ocean side (about 2 km, 12 minutes), running daily from 15 June to 30 September. Only small dogs that can be held on your lap are accepted, and you should tell the operator at booking. Round trip about 7.50 EUR adult. | 💡 Confirm the small-dog policy directly when you book, as it is set at the operator's discretion and may change. |
| Car & parking | Most visitors arrive by car from Bordeaux (about 1 hour 15). In July and August the peninsula is heavily congested and ocean-beach car parks such as Grand Crohot and Le Truc Vert saturate by early afternoon. The commune runs a real-time parking-occupancy tracker for Grand Crohot. | 💡 Park before 11:00 or after 17:00 in peak season, and never leave a dog in a parked car in summer heat. |
| On foot & by bike | The peninsula is flat and compact, with shaded cycle paths linking the villages and beaches. Leashed dogs are welcome on all paths, and bikes with dog baskets or trailers are easy to rent in Claouey, Le Canon and Cap-Ferret town. This is the most practical and dog-friendly way to get around in summer. | 💡 Rent a bike for the week. It beats fighting for a parking space and keeps your dog active and cool in the shade. |
