Next to these stars of Calvados are many smaller destinations waiting to be discovered and ideal for a calm vacation and far from the crowds that we find on the Mediterranean beaches.

The beaches in Calvados are best when discovered at low tide so you can see the vast stretch of sand that becomes a real playing field for kids (beach games, shellfishing, swimming).

The Norman Coast in Calvados is divided into three zones. The Cote Fleurie which is found around Deauville. It is the most hip coast and the most reputed. Cote Nacre is found in the suburbs of Caen and is very authentic and familial. Cote du Bessin is full of history with the beaches of Debarquement. The coastline is more rough with its high cliffs.
