Balade à roulettes : Le port du Betey
Description
The Bétey port, entirely dedicated to oyster farming, was built in 1932 on the mouth river of the same name. In 1982, it was developed to become the sailing harbour of Andernos-les-Bains and is now home to 151 boats. On its left you have the Bétey beach, near a wooded parc (Bétey Dune) and a children's playground. The Bétey rises in the town of Querquillas and flows into the sailing harbour. The river has its name from the Gascon "woodcock net" and divides the city in two. It has only been crossed by a wooden bridge in 1839. In winter near the cemetery, you will find a "rusty" spring, where traces of a prehistoric settlement were discovered. Walk along the banks to discover an amazing fauna and flora : royal fern, the european pond turtle and many others...
