About Le Havre Beach
Le Havre Beach is a 2-kilometer pebble beach stretching along the Alabaster Coast, located just 500 meters from the UNESCO World Heritage city center. The beach is part of Auguste Perret's post-WWII reconstruction masterplan that transformed this heavily bombed city into a landmark of modern urban planning. At low tide, a sandy zone appears, and since 2022 a dedicated sand strip has been added for comfort.

During World War II, the famous Dutch artist Karel Martens painted all 700 beach cabins in vibrant colors between 2017 and 2021 as part of an art installation called 'Couleurs sur la Plage.' However, after the project ended, the cabins were returned to their traditional all-white appearance that has defined the Le Havre shoreline since the early 1900s.
