The beach is patrolled by lifeguards during the summer months, making it a safe and fun destination for families with children.
Beyond the beach, Wissant is also home to a nature reserve, which provides a habitat for a variety of bird species, including herons, egrets, and cormorants. The reserve is a great place to explore and discover the local flora and fauna. Overall, Wissant offers an idyllic setting for a relaxing seaside getaway, with its stunning beaches and natural beauty providing the perfect backdrop for a memorable vacation.
