The Surroundings

Saint-Marcouf beach is ideal for shellfish gathering (cockles, mussels, crustaceans, prawns) and surf-casting fishing (sea bass), which you can also fish from your own boat — weekly berths available at Quinéville harbour.

The vast stretches of sand invite you to fly kites and take long walks towards the D-Day beaches on foot, by bike or on horseback.

Water Sports

The coastal geography makes kitesurfing possible in all wind directions. In front of the gîtes with easterly or south/north winds. At the Pointe de Jonville (17 km away) with westerly winds — an ideal spot for beginners.

Bayeux Tapestry

Explore the Val de Saire via Barfleur and the Gatteville lighthouse up to Cherbourg, then head to the wild La Hague headland with its sheer cliffs among the highest in Europe (the east and west coasts of the Cotentin are only 50 km apart).
