Maisons - all beaches

This beach is truly unique, offering a fascinating blend of historical significance from the war era and breathtaking natural beauty. I took a refreshing swim and found it to be one of the finest beaches, despite the absence of showers or toilets. There were not many people swimming, but the beach itself had a lovely sandy shore and shallow waters.

Asnelles is a pleasant, low-key resort. It essentially shuts down at the end of August, as evidenced by this photo taken in early September. The worn British flag is even displayed upside down! The Carrefour store is well-stocked, and the boulangerie is good but closes at 1:00 PM and isn't open on Thursdays. There's a tiny market on Thursdays. The biscuit shop and tea room are good. However, there's limited choice for vegetarians seeking a good meal. Le Cale offers nothing, and O Dune Zen is overpriced, now under new management, and has declined in quality. The Italian place next door appears to be permanently closed. The best option is to go self-catering. The beach is lovely and expansive at low tide, and you can walk to the Mulberry Harbour.

Visiting this beach was a must-do for me, and I absolutely enjoyed it.
