Sunny Sunday afternoon and this typical seaside town was busy. Ample cafe,bar and ice cream . parlours. Huge beach ,with dogs not being allowed on the designated bathing beach area. Access to the beach is a little limited,particularly for those wishing to walk their dogs. Extensive sand dunes with efforts clearly in.place to contain erosion Plenty of car parking .

We had a short overnight stay on our way south from the channel tunnel. Lovely seaside town. We went in April out of season and lots of the town was closed down, but still charming. Fantastic walks on the beach and in the sand dunes.

Great beach, plenty free parking close to the beach. Couple of okay restaurants. Lifeguards present during holidays. Never gets too busy but good buzz nevertheless. For me, beachwise.. Merlimont beats Le Touquet, Stella Plague and Berck... Good for a stroll through the dunes and around a few shops... lovely atmosphere.
