Plage de La Potinière, Beach in Barneville-Carteret, France

Located on the Côte des Isles, La Potinière Beach stretches along 800 meters of fine sand, facing the Écréhous archipelago and Jersey island.

Since 1901, the beach has maintained its restaurant-bar-terrace establishment, which became a central gathering point for summer events and concerts.

The beach hosts an annual treasure hunt that gathers 200 children, reinforcing its role as a community recreational destination in Normandy.

La Potinière Beach provides monitored swimming areas during summer, with facilities including public restrooms, parking lots, and fifty beach cabins.

The beach benefits from the Gulf Stream waters while being protected by the Channel Islands, creating specific conditions for water temperature and tides.
