Meeting with nature
The beach, the dunes and wild Authie Bay - local landscapes that change with the seasons and the tides. Fort-Mahon-Plage is good for both body and soul.
A never-ending stretch of white sand, with dunes, the sound of waves, and the cries of gulls... Everything you need for a rejuvenating break by the sea.
Hidden away, unlike its big sister, Somme Bay, Authie Bay is a treasure trove of secrets. A favourite stopover for migrating birds, a paradise for walkers and a garden full of health-giving herbs.
Watching the spectacular waves come and go with the tides is mesmerising. Whether millpond-calm or raging seas, you can’t help but be fascinated; drawn to it. It makes you feel so alive!
Get back to nature on various loop routes through dunes, pine forests and wetlands.
A walker’s paradise
Need to get some fresh air and blow the cobwebs away? Then immerse yourself in the wide open spaces, breathe deeply and switch off from your daily routine.

Hervé and his gang
The bay swathed in indigo
What we love is making a pilgrimage to Fort-Mahon-Plage and admiring the sea lavenders flowering in Authie Bay. It covers all the salt marshes with a lilac coloured carpet. Stand and contemplate this timeless, natural landscape that serves as the perfect studio for family photos! And we always leave with a tiny bouquet of dried flowers, to store all year round at home. Something to keep the holiday memories alive for a little longer!
Small catches and treasure hunts!
When nature gives, it’s only right to make the most of it! Shrimps, glasswort, clams, baby sole, crabs, shells, feathers, driftwood and tiny creatures from the foreshore.... It's a chance to hunt for treasure and see what miracles you can catch! Go back to basics, to the simple life, to sharing and to nature in all its authenticity!
