The Cotentin Peninsula is a real paradise for surf lovers. You will find many surf schools ready to welcome beginners and advanced riders. Even better, this region has produced talented local champions. So, when people ask about the surf locations in Cotentin, the answer is simple: there are plenty, and each one is worth a visit
La Becterie, a central location for Every Surfer
La Becterie is located in a central location. It is even truer for cider, and surf spots; it is the perfect starting point. In just a few minutes, you can reach all of the best suft locations in Cotentin: Siouville (20 minutes), Sciotot (15 minutes), or Le Rozel (15 minutes). Even Les Moitiers-d’Allonne are only 20 minutes away. To the east of Cherbourg, Anse du Brick offers another great spot, just 25 to 30 minutes from the heart of the peninsula. With this network of beaches, it is easy to try several waves in one trip.
A Landscape Made for Surfing
Of course, the waves are excellent. But the true highlight is the landscape. You can surf with the dunes of Biville behind you, or ride waves facing the green hills of Sciotot, one of the most beautifull beach in Europe. Here, nature is stunning and the crowds are few. That makes Cotentin unique: you combine sport with breathtaking scenery, in a place where relaxation and energy blend perfectly.
