Plage de Varengeville-sur-Mer, Coastal beach in Varengeville-sur-Mer, France.

Plage de Varengeville-sur-Mer is a beach on the Alabaster Coast of Normandy, about 150 km northwest of Paris, where white chalk cliffs rise above the shore. A natural valley, the Petit Ailly, slopes down to the sand and gives access to the water. The local climate is mild, with average temperatures around 9 °C and about 1,011 mm of rain a year.

The beach lies below the wooded valley of Petit Ailly, whose slope gives access to the shore beneath the chalk cliffs of the Alabaster Coast. The site is recorded as a beach of Varengeville-sur-Mer in the Pays de Caux, about 150 km northwest of Paris. Its shoreline faces the English Channel, whose temperate climate brings about 1,011 mm of rain a year.

The clifftop churchyard of Saint-Valery holds the grave of painter Georges Braque, who lived in Varengeville and is buried here; his studio stood nearby. The cemetery also holds the tombs of ship captains and local families, and its position above the beach ties the village's maritime past to its artistic circle.

The beach is easiest to explore at low tide, when a wide expanse of sand is exposed and walking is more comfortable. Visitors should watch the tide, as the shoreline shrinks significantly when the water rises.

The geological layers and rock formations here shift from hidden to fully visible depending on the tide, creating two entirely different landscapes within a single day. This constant transformation means the beach you see in the morning may look completely different by evening.
