Wissant Bay reveals its many faces to walkers. From the observatories located in the marsh, you can watch sandpiper ducks and lapwings, while a path will lead you to the top of the Motte du Bourg, overlooking the Tardinghen hinterland marsh … There, a breath-taking view of Cap Blanc-Nez, Cap Gris-Nez and the marsh unfolds at your feet. In spring, discover the gorse in bloom and breathe in its aromas of coconut and monoï – absolute escape guaranteed!

Opening hours: all year round
