Saint-Valery-en-Caux
Nestled in the hollow of the high cliffs of the Alabaster Coast, the Saint-Valery-en-Caux beach is a unique spot, with a very marked port and mineral atmosphere. Located in immediate proximity to the port, this pebble beach offers decidedly maritime navigation in a spectacular setting, between white cliffs, dikes, and an open horizon over the English Channel. It is not an easy or tolerant spot, but it can offer great committed sessions when the wind, swell, and tide are well synchronized.
