A beautiful footbridge built in 2015 to connect the Grand Large district to the beach of Malo-les-Bains. It has become a place for walks, allowing walkers and cyclists to pass between the port, the town and the beach in complete tranquility.

Highlight • Cycleway

The Vélomaritime is a cycling route that runs along the entire French coast, from Roscoff in Brittany to Bray-Dunes in the north. It is part of the EuroVelo 4, a European cycling route that goes from France to Ukraine. The Vélomaritime allows you to enjoy the beautiful landscapes and the rich heritage of the coastal region. You will pass legendary places such as the Pink Granite Coast, Mont Saint-Michel, the landing beaches, the chalk cliffs of Étretat, the Bay of the Somme and the Opal Coast. Fully signposted since June 2021, the Vélomaritime consists of 67% small roads with little traffic and 33% greenways and cycle paths. The route is suitable for all levels, but does have some steep parts and differences in height.

Westhoek Nature Trail (MTB)

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Beautiful path especially for bikes with not so deep sand passages. By the way, there is a path for horses right next to it.
