Hidden between the legendary cliffs of Normandy, a small shingle beach that ends up with a stretch of rocks. This set up delivers rather mushy waves, making it a beginner's favourite, but it will hold large swells. Beneath the world-famous rock formation 'l'Aiguille Creuse' (the hollow needle), Etretat is a consistent mid tide peak that favours lefts. Best on wrapping SW swells but also works on NE wind chop. Beware the shallow inside and fierce shore pound. Always crowded on weekends so a little localism is possible. Difficult parking. Webcam.
