We had a fantastic time spending the whole day at the beach in beautiful Etraret. There were plenty of activities to keep us entertained, and a wide range of dining options to choose from. I stumbled upon a small library where both kids and adults can take a break from the sun and enjoy some reading time. Additionally, I highly recommend taking a short walk to the top of the hills to admire the breathtaking views. Just a reminder, the beach is made of stones, so keep that in mind if you plan on spending the entire day there. Also, exercise caution when it comes to kids swimming, as the waters can be quite strong. I hope you have as much enjoyment in Etraret as we did.
This beach is absolutely stunning and unique, a hidden treasure that gives off a natural reserve vibe. Don't be discouraged by the nearby industrial zone. The scenery of the hills is absolutely breathtaking, and the water is clean and inviting. It may be a little cool, but not as cold as some other beaches in Normandy. The dark sand is unusual and reminds you of volcanoes. There are two really good restaurants and a café where you can enjoy fries, sausage, and beer. The parking lot is quite strange, but it's very spacious and much quicker to park here than to search for one in Le Havre. And if you're up for some hiking in between swims, there's an amazing panoramic trail that takes about an hour to hike to the top and back to the beach for another swim.
This is a great spot that's suitable for all! Just remember to stay safe and enjoy yourself. After all, life is too short!
