Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Plage de Vauville (Manche) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Plage de Vauville (Manche) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Plage de Vauville for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

The beach is stunning and expansive, with soft sand during low tide and pebbles when the tide is high. When in Vauville, if you're feeling hungry, I suggest checking out the Cabane des Tamarins.

This beach is clean, pleasant, and not too crowded. However, it seems that swimming is not supervised. The parking lot is small, but we were fortunate to find space every time we visited. The streets in Vauville are narrow, and there are more and more motorhomes, so patience is required when crossing. We have been coming here for years and plan to continue doing so. 😁

The beach was absolutely stunning and it felt like we were in paradise. There weren't many people around, but the wide views and crystal clear sea with calm waves made up for it. The strong wind created incredible displays in the water as it went against the sea current.

Vauville beach is truly one of Europe's finest. With kilometers of sandy shoreline, it's perfect for a range of low-tide sports. The surrounding hinterland boasts stunning heather-covered hills and lovely hiking trails. The area has been thoughtfully developed for tourism, and the overall vibe is reminiscent of charming southern English seaside towns.
