Plage de Donville-les-Bains
8 Lirio

While the beach has pebbles and rocks on both sides, it still retains a pleasant and uncrowded atmosphere, allowing for a direct life on Chausey. Although it may not be the ideal spot for diving, the view is still breathtaking.

Who doesn't enjoy the combination of sun, sea, and sand? I went to this beach during late winter and it was a delightful day. It seems like there will be more amenities available as the season progresses, such as drinks. We didn't spot any restrooms, but we may have missed them. It's an excellent spot for walking with your dog and for yourself, just make sure to pick up all waste. However, there's a shortage of bins which could be an issue. On the bright side, parking is free and it's a well-liked destination.

Cette plage est immense et magnifique pour le plaisir des yeux et les ballades, mais lorsqu’on vas dans l’eau c’est dégoûtant, l’eau est très sale, elle est complètement trouble, pleins de plumes, algues, bois et autres déchets naturels y flottent. Ça donne vraiment pas envie d’y mettre le corps entier. Déçue après les 1h30 de route pour y aller. Je n’y retournerais pas. Il y a un monde fou, prévoir du temps pour espérer trouver une place à proximité. La température de l’eau est bonne mais horrible.
