Grande Plage de Barneville à Portbail, Sandy beach in Barneville-Carteret, France
The beach stretches along a 10-kilometer coastline between Barneville-Carteret and Portbail, offering extensive areas of fine sand facing the English Channel.
The beach gained popularity during the 19th century with the rise of sea bathing, leading to the development of Barneville as a coastal resort destination.
Local fishermen maintain traditional seafood harvesting practices during low tide, collecting various shellfish and crustaceans along the shoreline.
The beach provides summer lifeguard services, fresh water showers, and specialized equipment for disabled visitors to access the water through the 'trialos' system.
The waters benefit from the Gulf Stream's warming effect and protection from Atlantic swells by the Channel Islands, creating favorable swimming conditions.
