Maréis invites you to discover the work of a fisherman in Etaples which is well-known in France for its quality and savoir-faire. And so are the different species from the Channel and the North Sea. Thanks to a surprising and entertaining visit, your guide will bring you from the dockyard to the open sea. You will discover the different fishing techniques, and you will learn everything about life on a trawler where fishermen work day and night to bring fresh fish. Before you turn into a good fisherman, you will receive skills on how to navigate and how to make a knot such a genuine fisherman. The seaside won’t have any secrets to you anymore : thanks to an underwater camera you will watch a seabed. That will bring you a lot of surprises!

We visited on a glorious summers day and spent the whole day on the beach. They have done a brilliant job in renovating the area. The beach is clean with very attentive life guards. The facilities are clean and tidy and plenty of places to get snacks or something more formal, there are restaurants are close by. First time swimming in the English Channel. Was fun watching all the ferries coming and going to and from Dover. The ferries don’t disrupt your visit to the beach. Free all day parking. Something the UK seaside towns needs to do! Can’t wait to go back.

This park is huge and is very well maintained with large beautiful flower beds bursting at the seams, play areas for the children and winding walks through the large trees providing plenty of shade on those hot days. Definitely worth a visit if you have a few hours for a wander.

A work colleague had to manually ‘force’ me to come here, prior to a work meeting ‘so as to exorcise a bad experience with a French lady’, last year. Fair play to him - it worked. A pleasant early morning jog/run along the beach which is unspoiled and has a natural essence to it. Very cold, but, of course the air is ‘sea fresh’. Parking is good and in close proximity. Well worth a visit, tbh.

My friend and I visited the Calais area on a day trip and decided to drive uo to Dunkirk for a walk around. The beach is vast, with soft sand and a slightly emotional feel to it, as you stroll along freely, remembering what the soldiers who charged off the boats faced in WWII. There is plenty of space for children to run about, and lots of places to eat along the promenade, but our visit was to see the beach.

The beautiful Bay of Authie extends from the southern end of Berck's gargantuan beach in a satisfying, dune-ridged, forest-fringed crescent, where the tide is either smashing against the man-made boulder barrier or glistening in some unfeasibly distant twinkle. When the tide is two hours out, the seals (a huge collection of Grey and Common) are visible on the sand banks across from the breakwater at a distance of a hundred metres or so. When the tide is fully out (and, MY WORD, does it go out!) at around 18.00/19.00, the seals (who constantly need the proximity of water), can be found alongside the only remaining channel, at the far southern end of Berck beach, as close as thirty metres across the water! This is the best time to view them. Not only are they clearly visible, but many take quick swims and frequently pop-up within a few metres of the lines of humans, eagerly watching and filming them on the opposite bank. When the tide rushes back in at 20.00, the seals are washed back in towards the cusp of the bay and, as they float along, they can be observed as close as a few feet away. We were incredibly unfortunate (the handful of us that had hung on) to witness a baby seal curiously raise it's head on several occassions, just two metres (6 foot) from where we were stood. Fantastic!
