Criel-sur-Mer Beach Webcam

A Quiet Corner of Normandy's Coast

This live webcam overlooks the beach at Criel-sur-Mer, a small seaside town on the Côte d'Albâtre — Normandy's Alabaster Coast — in the Seine-Maritime department of northern France. The camera sits along the shoreline shared with the neighboring resorts of Le Tréport and Mers-les-Bains, near the mouth of the Bresle river.

Chalk Cliffs and Pebble Shores

Criel-sur-Mer's beach is framed by some of the highest chalk cliffs in Europe, rising above the pebble and sand shoreline that stretches toward the neighboring hamlet of Mesnil-Val. These dramatic white cliffs are a signature feature of the wider Normandy coastline.

Gateway to the English Channel

The camera's wide view opens onto the English Channel, where the horizon stretches uninterrupted toward the English coast. Vessels crossing between France and England pass along this stretch of water, making it a favorite spot for watching tides and shipping traffic.
