Beach of Dieppe, plage française
Description
Beach of Dieppe is a 1.5-kilometer coastal stretch along Normandy's shoreline with characteristic beach huts and a pebbly shore right next to town. The waterfront area features a large grassy expanse behind the beach and sits easily accessible from the city center.
History
The beach was developed as a bathing destination in 1824 by the Duchess of Berry, launching the start of French coastal tourism. This early development made Dieppe a pioneer in the European bathing culture movement of the 19th century.
Culture
The beach hosts an international kite festival every two years, drawing visitors who launch colorful kites of all shapes and sizes into the sky. The event has become an important gathering where people from many countries celebrate the tradition of kite flying together.
Practical
The beach offers lifeguards and monitored swimming areas during the warmer months, along with cycling paths that run along the coast. People with limited mobility will find specially adapted equipment and access points to make beach visits more comfortable.
Did you know?
Every week during the swimming season, water quality is tested to ensure swimmers can enter with clean and safe conditions. These regular checks help maintain standards for beach safety throughout the warmer months.
