Our opinion on the Cran au Poulet Beach
Cran au Poulet Beach in Audinghen is one of the secret beaches near Cape Gris Nez. This pebble beach, fairly easy to access with well-maintained stairs, leads out of the great beaches of Côte d’Opale and end in a protected place away from the crowd. There is no monitoring or tavern here; one comes to enjoy the sea. At low tide, one can even reach Cran aux Oeufs 500 meters north.
To get to this beach from Audresselles, go north by the D940 and follow the directions to the Atlantic Wall museum. There is a free car park nearby. One goes into the woods to Haringzelles (the latter is totally artificial, it was planted by the Germans during World War II to hide bunkers There is nowadays a war museum in a former bunker - Battery Todt).

Photos of the Cran au Poulet Beach
This cove, unlike Cran aux Oeufs (north about 500 meters away), is easy to access via a staircase (it is also busier).
This pebble beach, surrounded by cliffs and rocks, offers an exceptional view of Audresselles south.
Several small coves south allow afford privacy at low tide (be careful with the incoming tide).
One can see Cap Gris Nez on the right that can be reached by following the trail to the top of the beach (north).
One can reach Cran aux Oeufs by the sea road (many rocks, wait for low tide), which beach is wilder and less crowded.
One can see the staircase leading to this beach in the center of the photo.
