Dunkirk pier by DFDS port. Great views and WW2 concrete sea defences still at the end of the pier. Recommended

Not a nice place at all to be honest. Surrounded by industries and fumes, this beach it's a little corner that is also hard to reach. I have found the other reviews were misleading unfortunately. Bit of a waste of time, I went somewhere else.
