Pointe du Touquet, Natural protected site and sacred grove in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, France.

The Pointe du Touquet extends over 432 hectares, combining sand dunes and the Banc du Pilori that separate the maritime space from the Canche estuary.

The site received its protected status through a decree on November 27, 2001, following an extensive study by the Superior Commission of Sites in 1999.

The surrounding forest and coastal area provide multiple paths for nature observation, cycling routes, and outdoor recreational activities throughout the seasons.

Visitors can access designated walking trails and cycling paths that connect various sections of the protected area while maintaining environmental preservation standards.

The natural site features a dynamic landscape where tides influence the scenery, with the Canche River creating new passages during spring tides.
