Tourist attraction Public beach Beach pavillion

😐 EN: Nice beach but sometimes not safe enough due to presence of life threatening & dangerous elements (see the marked photos, sharp iron rods are there almost camouflaged)! I am not sure the water mixing in the see how safe it is. However it's a lovely & beautiful beach. FR: Nice beach but sometim... People often mention beach,

    This is the coolest beach I've visited in Europe since immigrating to Europe from The Bahamas 🇧🇸. This place is a Kite and Windsurfers paradise, I must have counted 70 out there having a blast in perfect conditions. The beach was greatfor chilling, the boardwalk was cool and the beach bar is a great hangout!

    Schöner Sandstrand, aber für Hunde das ganze Jahr verboten. Sogar die komplette Promenade ist für Hunde verboten. Wir haben allerdings jede Menge Hunde gesehen. Einerseits können wir es verstehen, weil wir in letzter Zeit sehr viele Promenaden gesehen haben wo man echt aufpassen musste, dass man in keine Tretmine latschen. Schade für die Hundebesitzer, die sich benehmen. Wir waren hier nur kurz, weil Hunde unerwünscht sind, aber es gab hier auch echt gar nichts zu sehen in diesem Dorf. Das einzig Schöne war der Blick auf die Felsen.

    Nice new promenade along the very large beach at low tide. No ugly high rise buildings. Views of the Capes and nice little restaurants in the village, wich still keeps its charm and quaintness. A very good choice if you want to rent an apartment to spend a holiday by the sea with young children.

    Super toller Strand. Wenn Ebbe ist kann man schön auf dem Sand spazieren gehen. Es ist alles Sauber und nirgends liegt Müll herum. Wirklich wunder schön und ein Besuch ist es wert! Wer gerne Kitesurfing macht kommt hier voll auf seine Kosten!

    Schöner Strand, wie alle Badestrände hier. War aber etwas überlaufen, was aufgrund der sehr vielen Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten völlig normal ist. Dann kam noch der 14. Juli, Nationalfeiertag, mit mehreren fantastischen Feuerwerken entlang der Küste hinzu, da wird´s halt etwas mehr. Herrliche Weitsicht von Cap Gris Nez, Dover bis Cap Blanc-Nez.

    Der Strand ist sehr sauber und weitläufig. Egal, ob als Paar, mit Kindern oder Hunden, es haben alle Platz und wird auf alle Rücksicht genommen. Wirklich wunderschön

    Sehr malerischer Ort direkt am Meer mit sehr viel abwechslungsreichem Gastronomieangebot. Wunderschöner Sandstrand, der viele Wassersportler anzieht. Ausgesprochen lohnenswert ist der Markt, der jeden Mittwoch stattfindet.

    Really nice bar at the beach.

    Fantastic beach large enough that even in a warm day once you walk a little further there is plenty of space for everyone... bring your own shade!

    Great place. Problem now they are putting barriers up on the motorhome stop.

    It looks like being in another planet. This place is amazing, very much nature in the area. Only negative feedback is the wind. As every beach in north sea there is too much wind and you can't even enjoy the beach.

    Lovely small seaside town. Lots of cafes and restaurants. Great beach and a very big market on Wed.

    Beautiful beach, with fine sand and shallow water. However, be careful as the tide comes in right up to the dunes.

    Nice French town, visited on market day, Thursday. Lovely beach, we took dog on without any problem even checked with tourist office. However, dogs are not allowed to walk on the small promenade that runs in front if the beach...weired but that's them rules. Worth a detour and very close to calais, there is an aires and a campground in the town. We used the aires without issue or any charge ,in a motorhome.
