Activities in the area around the campsite

Attractions include Tatihou island, Hougue fort, the D-Day beaches and their museums, the Cotentin marshland park and the famous Gatteville lighthouse. The department of the Manche has a 250 km coastline which varies greatly from one place to another - with long stretches of sandy beaches, a rocky coast and the cliffs of the Hague. It is also possible to visit the Cité de la Mer (the Museum of the Sea) and many other sites and museums. The Channel Islands are close at hand and the Mont St Michel lies further to the south.

Tatihou island

Just two kilometres off the coast from St Vaast, Tatihou island is an exceptional site with attractions including Vauban tower, a sandy beach and a museum. There are two ways of getting to the island: at high tide by amphibious boat or at low tide on foot - crossing the Run causeway through the oyster beds. It is possible to book the museum visit, including the crossing by boat, at the campsite.

The town centre and port are 300 m from the campsite. A market is held every Saturday morning. St Vaast - with its mixture of fishing boats and pleasure craft - is one of the biggest ports in the department. The bustling activity of the fishing boats makes it a favourite place for walkers - and piques the curiosity of onlookers.
