Cabines de plage

The 69 beach cabins line the coastline of Gouville-sur-Mer, featuring distinctive colored roofs that stand against the Norman shore and sandy dunes.

The beach cabins emerged in the early 1900s when sea bathing became popular, initially serving hotel guests who needed changing facilities on the beach.

These privately owned cabins, passed down through generations, represent a continuing tradition of French coastal life and maritime recreational practices.

The cabins provide storage space for beach equipment and fishing gear, while designated pathways guide visitors to protect the surrounding dune ecosystem.

Each cabin maintains its individual character through different paint schemes, creating a sequence of colors that reflects on the water during high tide.
