Beaches in Carolles (50740) France - advise, map and photos

Carolles-Plage is located on the peninsula of Cotentin, south of Granville, in the bay of Mont Saint-Michel, and offers a picturesque and protected environment close to the seaside resort of Jullouville.

There is a nice beach in Carolles, bordered by a dyke with three rows of bathing huts. It has an aid station in summer. Time seems to stand still in this Channel resort, which was a fashionable destination in the early 19th century with sea swimming. The center of Carolles-Plages only has a few shops. There are mainly second homes (many old houses). The Endenville district in Jullouville merges with Carolles-Plage around Crapeu (nicknamed the Siamese twins).

One can enjoy the remarkable view of the coast stretching to Granville via Saint Pair sur Mer from the cliffs of Carolles. One can also see the islands of Chaussey thirty kilometres away (on a clear day one can even see the Jersey Islands). The Breton resort of Cancale is located west, and closes the bay of Mont Saint Michel on the other side.
