Plage de Querqueville

This beach stretches along the Normandy coast with a combination of sandy areas and rocky sections that create varied terrain. The water here reaches a decent depth for swimming, and the seabed remains relatively consistent, making it suitable for different swimming abilities.

This coastal area has long been part of daily life for people living in the region, serving as a natural meeting point near the town. The shoreline has witnessed centuries of local activity, from fishing to fishing-related work and recreation.

Local families come here throughout the warm months to spend time together on the sand and in the water. The place serves as an important social spot where people gather for relaxation and informal gatherings.

The beach is easy to reach by car and offers convenient parking near the entrance area. Facilities including showers, restrooms, and seasonal lifeguard coverage are available to make visits more comfortable and safe.

During low tide, small tidal pools form with seawater, offering visitors and children chances to explore marine life. These shallow basins become part of the main sea again when the tide returns, creating a constantly changing landscape.
