The Sémaphore is located in Sangatte, specifically in Blériot-Plage.
Near the Sémaphore there is an accommodation called “Au Pied de la Dune”, which offers rooms and a unique gîte in a former bunker from the Second World War.

Stairs above the dune
Highlight • Other
These dunes isolate the eastern part of the Flemish maritime plain from the sea.
They were formed during the Quaternary period. This part of the coast was broken (the last time in 1953) and the sea was then able to penetrate inland.
The dunes of Fort Mahon extend over 2,820 meters of coastline.
They are a truly natural protection against the sea.
