Equihen-Plage

Publié le May 11, 2018

Wild child of the sea

Protected wilderness, an immense fine sandy beach, mussel-covered rocks, stunning sunsets, an array of brilliant colours and an invigorating sea air – these are just some of the delights that Equihen-Plage, the wild child of the sea, has in store for visitors.

The true nature of Equihen-Plage is to have stayed loyal to its original landscape and heritage -a simple fishermen’s village perched on top of the cliff, defying the elements and nourished body and soul by the sea.
