Coudeville-sur-Mer offers several ways to shape your stay: the coast and landscape, walking trails, and architectural and artistic works. When planning, it is worth deciding what matters most to you. Would you like to find out more about a particular walking route, take in the coastal landscape, or discover details of the local heritage? The local attractions vary considerably, so you can prioritize them according to your interests.

Coast and activities

The coastline of Coudeville-sur-Mer stretches for 800 m. The Coudeville-Plage area lies entirely within a landscape of dunes and marshes. The coast and landscape are therefore two distinct points of reference when choosing where to stay. Possible coastal activities in Coudeville-sur-Mer include land sailing. Check local conditions and whether providers are available before your trip. Horse riding is also associated with leisure activities in Coudeville-sur-Mer; check local availability for your travel dates before your trip. The popular coastal fishery is associated with enjoying cockles, clams, sole and mussels. Access and harvesting rules may vary; ask locally for information.

Two routes, different ways to explore

The “Par monts et par vaux” hiking trail is 17 km long and starts at the Cale de Coudeville-sur-Mer. It includes Coudeville-Plage and its promenade, and leads to the Château du Vau Tertreux. René Perrée de Grandpièce commissioned the château in 1760. This route thus gives you a starting point, a specific distance and a historic destination; the distance helps you compare the route with the time you have planned.

The GR®223 long-distance hiking trail offers a different way to explore: it runs from Saint-Martin-de-Bréhal through Coudeville-sur-Mer and then along the dunes to Donville-les-Bains. While the “Par monts et par vaux” route is given as 17 km long, the GR®223 is described as a sequence of places and a continuation along the dunes. Coastal conditions can affect access for hiking; check conditions before planning a stage.

Buildings and artworks

At the Church of Saint-Georges, the choir and tower have stone vaults; both date from the 14th century. The Croix d'Any stands at the crossroads of La Grimaudière. The calvary depicts a Christ carved in stone and a sculpted base. The “Crucifixion” bas-relief is listed as a protected object. Each site offers a different point of interest: the vaults and architectural history at Saint-Georges, the figure and base at the Croix d'Any, and the protected status of the individual work in the case of the bas-relief.
