The Jobourg Nose is a 2 billion year old rocky promontory that is home to a bird sanctuary. This plan is very popular with visitors, more than any other natural site in the region, with the exception of Mont-Saint-Michel.

View of Nez de Jobourg

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a very beautiful section of the coastal path with a view of the Nez de Jobourg. Note that this rocky promontory is also the oldest geological area in Cotentin. It houses four small caves that can be visited.

Jobourg Headland

Highlight • Natural Monument

The nose of Jobourg, a long, steep and emaciated promontory, surrounded by reefs, is the most imposing "finistère" on Cape de la Hague. This torn coast with its high cliffs is of rare beauty. The site is indeed awe-inspiring, especially when the sea is turbulent and the waves crash with a crash against the rocks! The Voidries nose, separated by the small cove of Sennival, remains the best place to admire it.

Nez de Jobourg Parking

Highlight • Parking

At Cape Nez de Jobourg you not only have a magnificent view of the 3 Channel Islands. Here you can also penetrate into the caves below the rock and immerse yourself in a completely different world. You can tell immediately that the tours are not designed for the mass tourism, but for nature and landscape lovers. One should therefore not expect a typical cave visit, but let the purity of the air and tranquility of this area on itself. Instead, the motto is: the journey is the goal. The names of the caves are based on legends and have names such as Faerie or Lions Grotto. Another legend says that some grottos once served as a favorite hiding place for smugglers.
