Put on your sneakers and head to Le Touquet beach, a natural jewel of 11 km of fine sand and dune spaces. The Baie de Canche Natural Park is located on the northern tip of Le Touquet. Access is easy for pedestrians and cyclists. From the nautical center which offers a breathtaking view of the estuary, walk a few meters to reach the motorhome area. Further on, let\u2019s take the \u201cBoucle de la Corniche\u201d. The latter runs along the northern tip to the ornithological observatory which overlooks the bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From there, you can observe migratory birds, but also seals sleeping on the sandbanks at low tide. Then head south, following the dune to the end of the seafront, then returning to the nautical center. This 3 km loop will excite your senses: breathe the iodized air with the scent of maritime pines, observe the extraordinary light of this bay, listen and let yourself be lulled by the sound of the wind, the waves and the seagulls circling in a opal sky. This route is only one possibility among others, 2 other shorter trails are offered to you: \u201cThe pin\u00e8de loop\u201d and \u201cThe dune loop\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
