User reviews
"Located on the Somme estuary, this beach stretches out as a vast area of sand and silt when the tide is low, allowing for long walks. However, during high tide, boats can be spotted, although swimming is not recommended here. Keep an eye out for spoonbills, white herons, and various gulls that may grace the surroundings."

What to do in Crotoy Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?
If you like outdoor activities, the Crotoy Beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!
Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Crotoy Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.
