Malo-les-Bains beach

Plage de Malo-les-Bains is a picturesque beach in the small commune of Malo les Bains on the eastern outskirts of Dunkirk. People come here to combine a calm beach rest with a fascinating immersion in the history of this region in northern France.

Beach description

The beach is characterized by a very long and wide (especially during low tide) coastline. Many consider it to be the most beautiful in the north of the country and call it “the king of the northern beaches of France.” The coast is covered with very fine and incredibly clean sand, walking along which you just wallow in this sandy “sea” of dunes. Closer to the sea waters there are areas, where sand is replaced by coarse rocks, on which seagulls like to walk. The sea here has an impressive turquoise hue, quite often there are significant waves, which makes it attractive for windsurfers.

The city promenade adjoins the sandy coastline of the beach, where it is possible to find everything necessary for a comfortable stay. There are toilets, showers, volleyball pitch and playgrounds for children, as well as various cafes, restaurants and bars. Near the beach there is also a memorial, reminiscent of the historically significant role of this region of France during the Second World War. At the resort itself, it is possible to admire the ancient Art Nouveau villas.

When is the best time to go?

It is possible to relax in France at any time of the year, the time of the trip depends more on your preferences. Summer - a great time to travel to the sea. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, even on the southern French Riviera is not hot weather. In winter , people go to ski resorts in France. It should be be mindful that in summer and winter in France there is a high season, respectively, prices soar. To enjoy the excursions, choose the time from February to April or from September to November, when both in the north and in the south it is not very crowded. If you go to the French Riviera in September, you will never lose: You will find a time when the weather is still warm and the prices are not so high.
