We take you on a journey that reinvents the sea: wild, intimate or lively, the ten most beautiful beaches in Seine-Maritime never leave you indifferent.

01 

Criel-sur-Mer
where the light sublimates the sea

Beneath Europe’s highest chalk cliffs, Criel-sur-Mer unveils a discreet yet spectacular beach. The colorful cabins, wooden boardwalk and unique light dancing on the pebbles give this unspoilt spot undeniable charm.

02 

Dieppe
between history and the good life

The doyenne of seaside resorts has lost none of its splendor! On the pebble beach, you can enjoy swimming, strolling and activities such as searching for mussels and periwinkles at low tide. A bit windy? This is the perfect opportunity to fly a kite on the wide lawns.

03 

Veules-les-Roses
the little romantic jewel

France’s smallest river guides you to a beach where sand blends harmoniously with pebbles. Surrounded by Belle Époque villas and blooming rose bushes, Veules-les-Roses embodies beauty and poetry. Here and there, the narrow streets come alive with typical restaurants and charming little boutiques.

04 

Quiberville
the meeting place for fishermen and adventurers

With one of the largest stretches of sand at low tide in Seine-Maritime, the beach offers an ideal playground for everyone, from sea bathing to sunbathing. It’s also a popular spot for kitesurfing!

05 

Yport
a life-size postcard

Small but oh-so-charming, Yport beach is a hidden treasure, surrounded by majestic cliffs! A former haunt of fishermen and smugglers, this village is an invitation to marvel, whether you’re looking for a refreshing drink on the horizon or a hike to the heights.

06 

Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, a perfect setting

At Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, you can lay back your towel in total tranquillity, with the gentle impression of having the world to yourself. Pebbles, cliffs and vast expanses of sea create the perfect backdrop. And for the more adventurous, the spot is ideal for trying out paddle and kitesurf.

07 

Sainte-Marguerite-sur-Mer, retro charm

Sainte-Marguerite-sur-Mer, with its colorful cabins, blockhouse and wild beaches, has a unique atmosphere. Here, you can explore the coastal path, climb the cliffs (taking care not to get too close to the edge!), or take to the waves.

08 

Pourville-sur-Mer, the elegance of a seaside village

This seaside village, beloved of the Impressionist painters, will seduce you with its beach, which transforms at low tide: ideal for invigorating jogging, beach-volleyball matches or strolls with your feet in the water. Its restaurants welcome you for a gourmet break after an iodized adventure.

09 

Les Petites Dalles
the impression of the impressionists

To reach the beach at Les Petites Dalles, we wind our way down a charming lane lined with old houses in pastel hues. This corner of paradise, once loved by Monet, invites you to explore. At low tide, go shrimping and observe the marine life. Later, enjoy an ice cream and the simple pleasures of fresh air, sea and adventure!

Tilleul: wild and preserved

Just a stone’s throw from Étretat, Plage du Tilleul (or Plage d’Antifer) offers a wild, less-frequented alternative. Accessible after a leisurely stroll through the fields, this pebble beach at low tide offers an exceptional panoramic view of the cliffs. A complete change of scenery, between raw nature and serenity. You’ll feel far away from it all.
