Cayeux sur Mer / Somme Bay
The Somme Bay, an authentic and preserved land 2 hours from Paris
Cayeux-sur-Mer, a small family seaside resort south of the Somme Bay has everything a big resort has! A huge beach exposed to the prevailing winds more than 250 days a year, which delights many kitesurfers, and the longest boardwalk in Europe with its hundreds of beach huts lined up along the sea for more than 2km, a unique panorama to also enjoy at sunset!
Surrounded by unspoilt nature, you will appreciate the Hâble d'Ault ornithological reserve, the marked hikes in the pine forest, the white road in the middle of the dunes and the Pointe du Hourdel, home to the largest seal colony s Veau-Marine in France.
Ranked among the most beautiful bays in the world, between cliffs, sands, dunes, pebbles and marshes, the Somme Bay is a real living spectacle with its changing light throughout the day on grandiose landscapes. 30 minutes from Cayeux-sur-Mer, you can enjoy a guided tour on marked trails in the Parc du Marquenterre, an exceptional nature reserve with its 260 hectares of dunes, marshes and forests, a unique opportunity to observe preserved wildlife represented mainly by many migratory birds. 25 km away, the gardens of Valloires and the Cistercian abbey in the Authie valley, 5000 plant areas spread around five remarkable gardens, a true ode to nature.
As you get closer to the coast, don't miss a visit to Fort-Mahon, the magnificent fortified castle flanked by its immense round towers.
The Somme Bay is also home to charming villages and characterful ports.
This is the case of Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme, one of the most beautiful villages in France with its quays, ramparts, cobbled and flowery streets, of le Crotoy, a seaside resort with its pretty fishing port, or Mers-les-Bains nestled between its cliffs and colorful houses...
