Must-see attractions in Berck

Authie Bay and its seals

Encountering colonies of grey seals and harbour seals is a magical moment not to be missed. For the best viewing, head to the end of the Chemin aux Raisins, opposite the Sternes water sports centre, around two and a half hours before low tide.

These marine mammals bask on the sandbanks a few hundred metres from the shore. A telescope or binoculars will allow you to admire their natural behaviour without disturbing them.

The colony numbers over a hundred individuals depending on the time of year. To get the most out of this unique experience, bring a camera and keep a safe distance. Seals are wild animals and deserve our respect.

Heritage and culture: lighthouse and charming villas

Dominating the Berck landscape, the monumental lighthouse stands 44 metres high. Affectionately nicknamed "la chaussette" (the sock) by the locals, this guardian of the coast is home to the Maison du Patrimoine, where visitors can discover the traditional habitat of 19th-century fishermen.

The Lhomel neighbourhood boasts a remarkable architectural ensemble with its sumptuous period villas. Facades in a variety of styles tell the story of the Belle Époque: a medieval castle stands alongside a replica of the Trianon Palace in Versailles.
