About Pirou Beach
Plage de Pirou stretches for 6 kilometers along the western Cotentin coast in Normandy, featuring fine sand, natural dunes, and a working fishing harbor. The beach includes three distinct sections: the central supervised beach at Cale Louis Robert, the wild Armanville beach to the north, and the dune-backed Bergerie beach to the south. A unique seawater reservoir allows swimming even at low tide when the sea retreats several kilometers.
