Berck-sur-Mer

Less than an hour�s drive from Calais, Berck-sur-Mer is a bracing encounter with the sea. With seven and a half miles of fine sandy beach, it is a haven of peace. From the Bay of Authie and its belt of preserved sand dunes, to the ever-green countryside, the region of Canche-Authie is a great destination for an activity break this spring.

With prices starting from as little as �30* each way for a car and up to nine people and day trip fares from only �18* return, don't miss out on a great break this spring. What's more if you book your day trip now, you will get a free bottle of wine! More details here..

The local immense sandy beaches are ideal for sports such as sand-yachting, speed-sailing and kite flying or for bracing walks amongst the dunes that abound along this natural and protected coastline. The region also offers plenty of opportunities to hike, horse ride or to take a bicycle ride along the well mapped trails, and for golfers, you are never too far from a great golf course.
