Beach of Le Tilleul, Sandy beach along the Alabaster Coast, Normandy, France
The beach stretches for 1.5 kilometers between Pointe du Fourquet and Pointe de la Courtine, featuring white chalk cliffs rising from the English Channel.
The Romans constructed a defensive wall along the beach perimeter to prevent pirate invasions, establishing military control over this section of the coast.
The Justice Bench, a stone throne near the beach, represents medieval judicial practices where local lords addressed community disputes during the reign of Philip Augustus.
Visitors must park their vehicles 1.5 kilometers away from the beach and walk through woods and meadows to reach the protected natural environment.
The beach divides between two communes: the northern section belongs to Le Tilleul while the southern part extends into La Poterie-Cap-d'Antifer territory.
