Beaches on the seaside resorts of the Upper Normandy region in France

The beaches of Upper Normandy are located in the department of Seine-Maritime, the only department in the region having coasts on the English Channel. Including the Cote d'Albatre, the norman beaches offer landscapes with high cliffs where we find beautiful pebbled beaches along with typical seaside destinations that attract the Parisians early in the year.

Most of the beaches in Upper Normandy (Haute-Normandie) are accessible from little known valleys.

The most well-known beaches in Upper Normandy are Dieppe, Etretat, Fécamp, Le Tréport and Le Havre. Sand beaches are rare here (we can find some at low tide). Most people come to this region to appreciate the beauty of the cliffs of the Cote d'Albatre.

To the south, we find the beaches of Calvados on the Cote Fleurie. The landscapes are completely different with the vast stretches of sand. To the north, near the Bay de Somme along with the beaches of Picardie where the cliffs will leave room for wild sandy beaches bordered by dunes.

You'll find below a list of beaches in Seine-Maritime with details on the different seaside destinations in the department.
