 Additional Information

Very popular beach in the area of Cherbourg. You'll find a lot of peaks. When the wind is South: it's the only beach that works well.
Works more or less at each tide and each wind... Very large beach, there are a lot of people but a lot of peaks too so it's OK.
This wave works very often but the quality is quite bad in general... (close..)

Yes ! - Yes, there are waves but powerless and not often. Bring a board: you may have luck though
