Very large beach, there are impressive tides, we liked to go hiking, few people early in the morning, a little more during the day, the sea is refreshing

Calais Beach

Reviewed By Drew040874 - London, United Kingdom

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.

Plage de Malo-les-Bains

Reviewed By IceGemzB - Colchester, United Kingdom

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.

Pointe aux Oies

Reviewed By blumit - Tallinn, Estonia

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.

Plage De Boulogne Sur Mer

Reviewed By smilehightravel - Croydon, United Kingdom

I have had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful beach several years running. Each time, the weather has been very hot and not just warm. The sand is lovely to walk on and the beach is not dirty. I would certainly recommend a visit.

We visited in February and we were delighted to see horses and riders cantering down the beach...looked like a TV commercial with such a lovely backdrop of the rolling waves on the sea.
