The Last of the Great Capes of the Cotentin

On the seaside resort of Barneville-Carteret lies one of the last great capes of our Cotentin Peninsula. Cap de Carteret offers postcard-worthy views that will take your breath away.

A unique moment awaits you in this preserved setting as you reach the tip of Cap de Carteret.

Enjoy Its Vast Beach

The stunning Plage de la Potinière is one of the beaches along the Côte des Isles. It is well known thanks to the little tourist train that connects Portbail to Carteret, but above all for its unique horseshoe shape carved into the cliffside.

This beach is ideal for your holidays—supervised and with on-site parking, it’s perfect for a great stay. It's a wonderful place to gather with family and enjoy special moments together, both for kids and adults! Other beaches like Sciotot and Siouville offer bigger waves, making them the perfect spots to try surfing!

Some Must-See Spots:

• The beach cabins
• The semaphore
• The abandoned chapel
• The iconic remnant of Cap de Carteret’s past
