Plage de Gravelines, Sand beach in Gravelines, France
The beach extends for three kilometers along the North Sea coast, offering fine sand and clear waters suitable for swimming and water activities.
The beach sits near medieval fortifications and a castle-fortress that protected the strategic port of Gravelines since the 16th century.
Local fishermen maintain traditional practices at the beach's northern end, where visitors can observe their boats and nets during morning hours.
The beach provides supervised swimming areas, changing rooms, showers, and rental equipment for water sports from June through September.
A black and white lighthouse with 104 steps stands at the beach, offering views across the Aa River estuary and North Sea coast.
