The local fisherman bring the catch into Etaples every day and sell it on the quay side & local market. If you like a lively fish market with good selection then this is it but surprisingly it can be more expensive than the shops in the locality. The restaurant is certainly in keeping with the fisherman's theme. Food is fine but the prices were nothing like the website and the day we went the Boulllibasse was 106 euros.
There are walks along the River Canche but we didn't find the town inspiring.
The coast is natural Sand Dunes but further north up the D940, at Dannes, there is a road through the dunes with parking. There is superb walking for miles along the beach here. Buy prawns & French bread and have a picnic. read more
