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.

We spent a week in a flat overlooking the sea, beach huts and the alabaster coast. This location gave us the opportunity to walk Mers les bains as well as Le Tréport. The connecting towns were walkable. They both have bi weekly marchés. Le Tréport has 2 fresh seafood shops. The sea is lovely at low tide. The beach is wide with soft sand for good walking. The Belle Époque houses are a French masterpiece! The Neighborhood welcomed their “local” Americans neighbors.

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.

We were driving around the area from Amiens and were so glad we decided to take the road in. The scenic drive down to the coast is stunning with a steep walk down to the shoreline , you are faced with the stunning white cliffs , really is worth the visit.

What a stunning view. On a good day you can clearly see the coast of England. Did you know that there are more than 500 ships going through the La Manche each day. Definitely go for the short hike, 1,5h amazing trail takes you through the forest and dunes all the way down to the beach. Hike is super easy, perhaps a bit more comfortable shoes are desired, but definitely not a must.
