Best Beach in Deauville

Unwind on the golden sand of Deauville’s main beach and perhaps engage in some celebrity spotting – Deauville is a popular weekend and holiday destination for trendy Parisiennes. In fact, Deauville is often referred to as the 21st arrondissement (region) of Paris.


Plage de Deauville

Stroll along the elegant Promenade des Planches, a 643m-long wooden boardwalk made of exotic hardwood that faces Deauville’s main beach and is backed by picturesque Beaux Arts and half-timbered Norman-inspired buildings.

Change into a swimsuit in a charming old-world wooden cabin then sunbathe on the golden sands or relax in the shade of one of the brightly coloured parasols that line the wide 1400m-long beach.

While the water is bracing – even in summer – you may, instead, want to engage in some celebrity spotting. Access to the beach is free, as is the case throughout the Normandy coastline.

Facilities include a swimming pool, Thalasso spa, tennis courts and a recreation club for children. The beachfront Centre Nautique – a water sports centre –  offers sailboats, catamarans, sea kayaks, surfboards and wind and kite surfing equipment for hire. Horses are available for hire on the beach at the nearby Pony Club.
