Explore the Bay of Somme<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Ranked among the most beautiful bays in the world, the Bay of Somme is a must-see destination<\/strong> to explore from our campsite on the Opal Coast<\/a>, very close to the ramparts of Montreuil-sur-Mer<\/a>. Located less than an hour’s drive away, it offers a magnificent natural spectacle, shaped by the tides, dunes, and wildlife. Whether you’re a lover of wide-open spaces, an aspiring photographer, or simply a walker, the bay will amaze you with its changing light and extraordinary landscapes.
Note that bicycle and trailer transport is free, so you can enjoy the cycle paths<\/strong> once you arrive at your destination. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Take the steam train<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

For an original discovery of the Bay of Somme, board the Somme Bay railway<\/strong>, a <\/strong>authentic steam train<\/a> that connects Le Crotoy to Cayeux-sur-Mer via Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. This picturesque journey is an immersion into the past<\/strong>, at the slow pace of old-time locomotives. Along the way, you can admire the wet meadows, salt marsh sheep, and fishermen’s huts. A fun and educational adventure, ideal for the whole family. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The breathtaking landscapes of the Bay of Somme<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Bay of Somme is above all a mosaic of unique landscapes<\/strong>: mudflats, dunes, marshes, pine forests, picturesque villas of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage<\/a>… Every corner reveals an exceptional biodiversity<\/strong>. You can observe a large colony of common seals<\/strong>, such as the Seals of Authie Bay<\/a>, as well as a multitude of migratory birds in the Marquenterre Ornithological Park. And if you wish to discover other marine species, visit Europe’s largest aquarium: Nausica\u00e1<\/a>. For walkers, many hiking trails<\/strong> allow you to fully immerse yourself in this natural setting. At low tide, the vast sandy expanses invite contemplation or the gathering of samphire. A moment suspended between land and sea<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
