Fort-Mahon-Plage
Between Baie de Somme and Baie d’Authie
Fort-Mahon-Plage is a dynamic seaside resort. Plan your next weekend out with your buddies and get an introduction to the pleasures of the water: you’ll have a good laugh trying your hand at the big stand-up paddle, and get your adrenalin pumping on a sand yacht trip.
Lovers of nature and wide open spaces will want to head for the Baie d’Authie. Nature guides offer guided outings to discover the flora and fauna: enchanting in summer when the bay is covered in blooming sea lilacs.

Christophe Klepmann
Sand yacht instructor
“The long sandy beaches of Marquenterre, between Quend-Plage and Fort-Mahon, are a paradise for sand yachting. You learn to maneuver quickly and it’s accessible to everyone. The sensations you get from the wind, the speed and the spray are unbeatable!
