THE BEACHES
Restaurants, children activities, practical information, essential
viewpoints, or small stories...Discover the six beaches situated
along the inDeauville territory in the following pages.
Each of them has its own, sometimes surprising, atmosphere:
familiar, adventurous, sportive, scientific, Californian...make your
own choice !
WATER UNDER PERMANENT
SUPERVISION
The quality of water is a real challenge
on seaside territories. The Deauville
Coast is subjected to careful care.
In 2009, the “Communauté de
Communes Cœur Côte Fleurie” was
rewarded with a certification label for
the good management of bathing
water. It has implemented its own
management system complementing
the supervision of the “Agence Régionale
de la Santé” (ARS).
The principle: controls are based on the
microbiological quality of water.
From June to September, 20 samples
per beach are taken and analysed by
the ARS. Moreover, the Communauté
de Communes Cœur Côte Fleurie daily
supervises the quality of bathing water.
Holidaymakers can find all information
about the quality of bathing water at the
aid posts or on
www.coeurcotefleurie.org.

sur-Mer
Not fewer than three beaches to explore: the Lais de Mer Beach, at the border with Tourgéville;
the Garenne Beach and the Ammonites beach. The Garenne Beach, including a pedestrian
walk and a children’s club, is the most dynamic in the summer season. The bigger and
wilder Ammonites beach stretches along the Yves-Saint-Laurent beach. It bears the name
of the fashion designer that, in 1983, bought the Château Gabriel where the great publisher
Gallimard was living.
- 16 -Access
The beach is accessible from the Lais de Mer Road and its perpendicular roads (avenue Saint-Michel,
avenue Maréchal Foch, avenue Victor Caillau).
You can park in Rue des Lais de Mer, boulevard de Bénerville, rue Pierre Roucher or even Avenue du
Maréchal Foch. Most parking places are for free.
You can also find a half-shadowed car park in Avenue du Littoral, at the crossing with Avenue du Général
Leclerc, and a small parking in front of the Terrasse des Ammonnites, 16 boulevard de la Mer.
Animals are not allowed from 10 am to 7 pm all year long.
Dogs are allowed on the Boardwalk if they are kept on a leash.

sur-Mer
The beach of Blonville-sur-Mer is quite big! It stretches over 2 km and includes four different
areas. Right after Bénerville, it stretches right under the cliffs. The Laforge beach, situated in
the city centre, is bordered by small planks leading to a children’s club and a sailing club. Here,
you can rent cabins, beach umbrellas and deckchairs. The Goblins beach is the departure
point to the west towards the marshes and the natural walks. The west beach, relatively
narrow, goes along Villers-sur-Mer, where another history begins. Throughout summer,
activities take place on the sand, including castle contests or photographic challenges…
Access
The beach is accessible from the following roads: rue de Hoinville, rue Louise, rue Laforge, boulevard
Marcelle Lechanteur, rue Pierre Jacquot, rue Chevalier, avenue Michel d’Ornano (in front of the beach
camping and the marshes).
You’ll find parking places in the roads reaching the beach and the perpendicular roads. These are places
where you can park for free.
You can find a car park in the blue parking area between rue Jean Duchemin and avenue Michel d’Ornano
next to the Centrale chemistry and the Market square
.
Animals are not allowed from April 1st to September 30th from 10 am to 7 pm.
Outside this schedule, they should be kept 100 m away from the Boardwalk and the villas.
They should be taken on a leash.

ON THE SEASIDE
In Villers
sur-Mer
The beach of Villers-sur-Mer is at the centre of the world… It’s the first French city to be
crossed by the Greenwich Meridian! The seaside resort reminds the Belle Epoque when
picturesque villas were found along the beach. Particularity of the beach: the 4.5 km long and
100 m high Vaches Noires cliffs dating back to the Jurassic and Cretaceous eras. If you are not
fond of history, the beach also hosts several summer events, including the famous Festival
Sable Show. Sports tournaments are organized all summer long! Every summer, towering
masts overlooked by objects like small boats are placed on the beach to help children take
their bearings.

Why not test speed and emotions on the sand? In a semi-supine position, you can catch
the wind and go fast on two wheels on the beach of Villers-sur-Mer. Trips supervised by a
qualified instructor are organized from January to the end of June and from September to
the end of November at the CNV of Villers-sur-Mer. In most cases, you can also approach
the Vaches Noires cliffs, site of great archaeologic richness.

The stand-up paddle, a large plank on which you can stand up, also called SUP, is trendy on
the beaches. It is ideal to discover the coast, as it is both suitable to calm and turbulent sea.
In Villers-sur-Mer, you can find paddles for 1, 6 or 8 people!

Walking in the sea
or on the sand
Longe-côte (or aquatic walking) is a fitness walking in which you walk partially immersed in
the sea (between waist and chest) wearing a suit. If it is carried out properly, it is an excellent
activity for muscle strengthening, breath and resistance. A friendly atmosphere is the real
essence of this group activity.
The dynamic Cercle des Nageurs of Deauville organizes every week two sessions of longe-
côte, on Monday and Saturday morning from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm.
