Plage des Chevrets

Plage des Chevrets is a sand beach along the Norman coast between Île Besnard and Pointe du Meinga. The shore features light-colored sand backed by natural dunes and extends across a generous expanse of open beach.

The area around Saint-Coulomb transformed from a traditional fishing village into a seaside destination as coastal tourism expanded in the 20th century. This shift brought infrastructure and services to a place once defined by small-scale fishing.

Local fishermen maintain their maritime traditions at the beach, where small boats still launch for daily catches using methods passed through generations.

The beach has lifeguard coverage during summer months and provides accessible facilities for visitors. Marked parking areas and a beachfront restaurant near the local camping ground make it easy to plan your visit.

At low tide, a natural sandy path emerges that allows visitors to walk to the small islands of Petit and Grand Chevret. This island group remains accessible only during specific tidal windows, creating an unexpected adventure on an otherwise ordinary beach day.
