About Yport Beach
Plage d'Yport is a charming 500-meter pebble beach nestled in a sheltered bay along Normandy's dramatic Côte d'Albâtre (Alabaster Coast), framed by spectacular white chalk cliffs formed over 100 million years ago. Often called the 'little sister of Étretat,' this authentic fishing village beach offers a quieter alternative to its famous neighbor while maintaining its traditional character with colorful fishing boats and classic beach cabins. The beach sits in a 'valleuse' — a unique geological valley carved through the cliffs — which provides natural protection from westerly winds.

It is strictly forbidden to take pebbles from Yport Beach, with fines of up to 1,500 euros for violators. This law protects the coastline from erosion, as the pebbles serve as a natural barrier against the powerful English Channel waves that constantly reshape the Alabaster Coast.
