France might enjoy just 1/5 th of coastline of Great Britain; but most of the 2000 or even more Km stretch of the shore consists of extremely spectacular and diverse beaches- starting right from the place where getting off the ferry port located in Calais can be easily done.
France, in terms of geography, is a petite country; but it is blessed with 2 principal water bodies along its border. They are the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Such never-ending miles of the property on the beachfront are jam packed, along with large chaotic cities and small French villages. The towns are located in such a way that they form a fine arc which is bounded by sand. These towns are a home to some of world’s most delicious, savory smelling fish restaurants. As you head a bit towards the western side and towards south thereafter, crossing the evergreen scenery of Pas de Calais, you would stumble across certain most gorgeous beaches never encountered by you before. Looking at shining sun, sparkling waters, fine sands, and white cliffs, France would definitely give the impression of being world’s most exquisite beach destination.
