The beach is incredibly long, stretching for miles and miles. While it may not have the sand dunes and pale sand of Fuerteventura, the golden sand is still quite nice and extends all the way to the water's edge. Since it's located in the English Channel in southern England, there's a noticeable tide that goes in and out, making the beach very deep at times. What's really impressive about this beach is just how long it is - in fact, it stretches all the way to the next resort, Bernieres. There's a pedestrianised promenade that runs the length of the beach, which is a great walk when it's not too hot outside. While some of the apartment blocks backing the promenade are attractive, others look like they've been airlifted in from East Germany. There are also bars and restaurants at either end of the beach, near the towns of Courseulles and Bernieres. Families will enjoy the beach, as there are rock pools, tide pools to fill your sandcastles' moats, and the sea is fairly shallow. It's also worth noting that this beach played a role in WWII as part of Juno Beach, and there's a Visitors' Centre in Courseulles town to reflect this.
