User reviews
"It's a fantastic destination for a day trip if you're crossing the Channel. It's a pleasant spot to relax and stroll along the coastline. Although I'm uncertain about the post-COVID scenario, I hope that the majority of local establishments have managed to stay afloat so that we can revisit this place again."
Tim Verrocchi
"The beach is enjoyable when the weather is good, but I strongly advise against dining at the green restaurant called Les Oyats. The service lacks friendliness, they frequently run out of items on their menu, and worst of all, they gave us food poisoning. So, be cautious and avoid Les Oyats. Apart from that, the beachfront is pleasant and very peaceful."

What to do in Wimereux Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?
If you like outdoor activities, the Wimereux 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 Wimereux Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing.
