Soulac-sur-Mer is a seaside resort of about 3,100 people on the Côte d'Argent, known for its old villas, with the Notre-Dame-de-la-Fin-des-Terres basilica, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998. British pilgrims once landed here before the port silted up, and the Voie de Soulac to Santiago still starts in the town. The ocean side has long fine-sand beaches backed by protected dunes. The homes are grouped just outside the centre. Out at the Pointe du Médoc, cycle paths link the ocean and the estuary.
