After looking at the charts and forecasts for the weekend again, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the fly-in in Le Touquet 🥲. We just don’t think it’s safe for anyone to go ahead with it.
On Wednesday evenings (fortnightly), we will post more information about spontaneous fly-in 🛩️ for the upcoming weekends, if the weather is on our side. Please feel free to chime in if you’d like to join! ➡️ Subscribe to our Whatsapp channel

| 28 Sept | Morning | Sightseeing at the Chance estuary | A stroll to the Canche estuary may well reward you with the chance to spot seals, and there are also many cycle tracks along the coast and past the dunes, or in the calm of Le Touquet Paris-Plage’s pine forest.

Duration: 2-3 hours |
| Afternoon | Sand yachting at Bertrand Lambert Manche Watersports Centre | Because the Opal Coast’s southern beaches are ideal for sand-yachting, Le Touquet regularly hosts national and international competitions. At low tide, vast stretches of the beautiful 7km beach of fine sand are exposed, offering the ideal terrain for hitting those top speeds aboard one of Le Touquet’s elegant sand-yachts. All it takes is a favorable wind to see the white sails bearing the famous caddie, hurtle at full speed across the sand.
Duration: 2-3 hours |

| Alternative: Beach time at Plage du Touquet | With almost seven miles of coastline, Le Touquet-Paris-Plage offers an opaline sea as far as the eye can see and forms the ideal playground for an array of outdoor activities. The nautical centers La Baie de Canche and La Manche Bertrand Lambert, offer other nautical activities such as surfing, sea-wading, waterskiing, windsurfing and wakeboarding.
Duration: The whole afternoon |

| Alternative: Guided tour – La Canche Lighthouse | A real architectural jewel 57m high, the lighthouse will make you discover, at the end of its 274 steps, a breathtaking view of the resort and its surroundings.
