There are lots of wide, safe beaches which are never overcrowded. Only 6 km from Portbail for a number of restaurants giving a wide choice of menus and prices. A 4-course lunch can be had locally for as little as 10 euros, dinner for 15 euros.
Walk or cycle (hire can be arranged) in the local forest with its variety of trees and wildlife. Birdwatch locally or visit the marshlands and see more variety of species. Golf can be played nearby. OR Just relax in the quietness of the garden in the Normandy countryside.
Carteret is only 16km away where there are more beaches and stunning views of the Chanel Islands and the Atlantic coast. Day trips to Jersey can be organised from Carteret. More rugged, unspoilt coastline can be visited further North and East of the Cherbourg peninsula with picturesque fishing villages.
Of course, Normandy is steeped in history. As far back as the Vikings and the castle in Bricquebec. There is Bayeux, a charming town with its cathedral and, of course the stunning tapestry. There is also a major British war cemetery there. The landing beeches and invasion sites are less than an hour away. Omaha, Utah, Sword and other beaches, Arromanche Pegasus bridge and many more.
Being on site means that we are there to help if you need it, or we will leave you to your own devices if you prefer.
