Cayeux-sur-Mer, commune in Somme, France
Cayeux-sur-Mer is a French commune located on the Picardy coast in the Hauts-de-France region. The town sits along a shingle beach and features a classic seaside promenade lined with wooden beach cabins and local cafes that reflect its character as a working fishing and leisure destination.
The town developed as a seaside resort in the 1800s after rail connections opened up the French northern coast to visitors. The growth of villa tourism established the tradition of the wooden beach cabins that remain a defining feature of the place today.
The town is easily accessible from the nearby city of Abbeville and has good parking near the beach area. A visit works well any time of year, though warmer months bring more visitors and open more food options along the waterfront.
The wooden beach cabins are handcrafted structures, and many families own or rent the same cabin across generations. This personal connection gives the beach a sense of continuity where past and present meet.
