Puys Beach in Dieppe - France

Our opinion on the Puys Beach

Puys Beach is found to the east of Dieppe and the harbor between the cliffs of the Cote d'Albatre. This is a historic beach since it was the place of the debarking of 19 August 1942. Narrower than the beach downtown, it is mostly frequented by pedestrians in the neighborhood. The usable zone extends for about 250 meters (only stones as it often is in Seine-Maritime), the beach stretches to the foot of the cliffs (access is not allowed due to the possibility of falling cliffs, as of March 2014). In the summer this beach has a lifeguard.

To get to this beach from downtown, go to the harbor and take road D925 (route that allows you to join the right bank). After crossing the harbor, take a left on quai de la Somme. At the end of the road, take a right onto D485 on Rocade des Graves de la Mer. Follow this road for about 2 kilometers, then turn left. A large sign indicates the beach.
