The Baie de Somme lies in the Somme department, in Hauts-de-France, at the mouth of the Somme river where it meets the English Channel. Of the 11 campsites listed, the majority enjoy access to the sea, with several establishments also located on a riverbank or lakeshore, a mix that reflects the richness of this estuary landscape well.
People camp in the Baie de Somme for its vast flat expanses, between mudflats exposed at low tide, dunes and marshes, an environment very different from rocky coastlines. The campsite here benefits from a particularly strong presence of nature, ideal for watching the birds and seals that frequent the bay.
Between Le Crotoy, Saint-Valery-sur-Somme and the Marquenterre park, the Baie de Somme remains one of the most recognised nature destinations on the French coast, with a rare balance between sea, river and wetlands. The 11 campsites listed are spread across these different settings, a choice that lets visitors tailor their stay depending on whether they favour the sea, the river or the marshes.
The Baie de Somme is home to one of France's main colonies of common seals, regularly seen on the sandbanks exposed at low tide, notably from Le Crotoy or on organised boat trips. A natural spectacle that has become one of the area's most sought-after attractions.
The Marquenterre bird reserve, set on the edge of the bay, welcomes hundreds of species of migratory birds every year, a reference site for keen birdwatchers as well as casual visitors. Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, a walled town full of character, still has its ramparts and fishermen's houses typical of the bay.
The Baie de Somme's little tourist train links several towns in the area alongside the estuary, an original way to discover this landscape that is both maritime and river-fed. Between Le Crotoy and Le Hourdel, the bay's appearance keeps changing with the tides, one of the region's most striking features.
