Plage de Merlimont, Sand beach in Northern France, along the Opal Coast.

The beach extends over three kilometers with wide sandy shores bordered by natural dunes along the English Channel coastline.

The area transformed from a fishing village into a recreational destination after the introduction of railway connections in the interwar period.

Beach huts line the shore following French coastal traditions, creating designated spaces for families to gather and socialize during summer months.

The central section of the beach maintains lifeguard supervision during summer season, while offering various water activities including sailing and paddleboarding.

The beach features an elevated wooden walkway through parabolic dunes, allowing visitors to explore protected natural areas without damaging local ecosystems.
