Spot info
- Town: Étretat
- Water: Sea
- Sports: SUP
The pebble beach at Étretat, framed by the chalk arches and the needle of the Alabaster Coast in Normandy. It faces north-west onto the Channel, with a large tidal range: westerly and north-westerly winds bring waves and swell onto the shingle, and the beach is sheltered from the south. Mostly a swimming and sightseeing beach; the cliffs and tides set the limits.
