Pointe de Grave

The Pointe de Grave (in occitan: Punta de Grava) is the northernmost tip of the Médoc peninsula, and marks the Northern end of the pine-clad sandy Landes coastline of Western France. It lies in the commune of Le Verdon-sur-Mer and across the Gironde estuary from the resort town of Royan.

The offshore Cordouan Lighthouse lies off the point, and a second lighthouse, on the shore, houses a lighthouse museum.
