Grève de Lecq, Sandy beach on the northern coast of Jersey, Channel Islands.

Grève de Lecq extends along the northern shoreline, featuring a combination of golden sand shores and natural rock formations surrounded by high cliffs.

During World War II, this beach held strategic importance, leading to the construction of military fortifications and an observation post in the surrounding cliffs.

The beach serves as a central meeting point for Jersey residents who gather here for traditional summer events and community celebrations throughout the year.

Visitors can access amenities including restrooms, showers, beachside cafes, and a large parking area, with lifeguards present during summer months.

A large natural cave system runs through the eastern headland, allowing explorers to traverse through the rocky cliff formation at low tide.

Wild beaches in France: Mediterranean, Atlantic coasts and coves

The French coastline stretches over more than 3,100 miles and features a notable variety of beaches. From Brittany's granite coasts to Mediterranean coves, including wide Atlantic stretches and Corsican bays with clear waters, each coastal area has its own character. This selection takes you away from crowded seaside resorts to beaches that have maintained their natural state. You will find the wild Piémanson beach in Camargue, accessible only via a dirt road and visited by pink flamingos, the discreet Nonnes beach on the Gironde estuary with its caves carved into the cliffs, or Notre-Dame beach on Porquerolles, considered one of the top spots in the Mediterranean. In Corsica, Saleccia requires an hour of walking or a boat trip to reach, while the Côte des Basques in Biarritz has attracted surfers since the 1950s. Some beaches demand effort to access, others are protected as nature reserves, but all offer a different experience from mass tourism.
