Plage du Havre, Shingle beach in Le Havre, France
The two-kilometer coastline combines pebbles and stones, stretching between Le Havre and Sainte-Adresse along the English Channel waterfront.
The promenade underwent a complete transformation in 1994 through the design work of landscaper Alexandre Chemetoff to modernize the seafront space.
The beachfront hosts multiple summer festivals featuring music performances, theater shows, and sports tournaments that gather local residents.
From May through September, visitors can access changing rooms, storage lockers, showers, and rent special wheelchairs for disabled beach access.
The beach area includes France's largest open-air skatepark, featuring a 1200-square-meter bowl for skaters, rollerbladers, and BMX enthusiasts.
