History

During very a long time, the Cape Ferret was not that a point of fall for the fishermen of the basin, a place of pine S and Dune S… Then gradually, certain fishermen started to be established on the shores of the peninsula and the village took form gradually. The development of Arcachon as a Seaside resort supported the rise of tourism on all the basin and it is at the beginning of the twentieth century that the first " touristes" pressed the ground of the Presqu'île.

Even if the commune were attached a long time administratively to the commune of Tests It, the tags-capiens always kept a feeling of independence compared to their administrative hierarchy… The peninsula preserved a wild side during many years, which also contributed to the lifestyle of the inhabitants… A lifestyle very relaxed compared to Arcachon. And it is since 1976 that Tests It of Buch finally gave up the village of the end of the world and that the commune of Light Cape-Tag was born, a commune of 25 kilometers length strewn with many small villages and Hameau X.
