Le Hourdel
Located at the southern entrance of the Somme Bay, the Hourdel Point is a unique spot, both wild and spectacular, marked by the meeting of the estuary and the open sea. Dominated by its iconic lighthouse and lined with pebbles, this point offers a raw and authentic atmosphere, very different from the large sandy beaches nearby. The Hourdel is sought after for its powerful and changing conditions, capable of providing great engaged sessions when the wind and tide are well synchronized, in an exceptional natural setting.
