Wherever you are in the Cotentin peninsula, the sea is never far away. Take a deep breath of fresh air anywhere in the area and it comes with that unmistakeable tang of sea spray.
Small coves and inlets, wild beaches of fine sand or pebbles, steep banks and sand dunes - authentic and perfectly preserved landscapes that will captivate you. Artists have been inspired by the shades of colour and ever-changing light since time immemorial.
Enjoy your favorite sports if you are feeling active or simply sit back in a deckchair and appreciate the spectacle of the high tides. A refreshing and invigorating environment which re-energises and does wonders for a general feeling of well-being. The Blue Flag beaches of Cherbourg, Carteret, Sciotot and Siouville-Hague are testimonials to the excellent environmental quality of Cotentin.
