 Côte d'Opale, France. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com
The Côte d'Opale is the stretch of Channel coast between Calais and the mouth of the River Somme, characterized by huge, wild and windswept sandy beaches.
In the northern part, as far as Boulogne, the beaches are fringed, as on the English side of the Channel, by white chalk cliffs.
The southern part of the coast is flatter, and the beach, uninterrupted for 40km, is backed by a landscape of pine-anchored dunes and brackish tarns, punctuated every few hundred metres by solid German pillboxes now toppled on their noses by the shifting sand foundations.
