General presentation
Cotentin et La Hague
Wild capes, harbours, cliffs, coastal paths, gardens and villages at the end of the Cotentin.
The discovery of Cotentin and La Hague revolves around Noz de Jobourg, Port Racine and Path of Customs. The stay thus alternates between the coastline, natural areas and the countryside, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: frequent wind on the capes. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Perspective
Nez de Jobourg
The Nose of Jobourg offers one of the most abrupt faces of the Hague, with cliffs, razed moors and views towards the Channel Islands in clear weather. Coastal trails alternate promontories and folds of land; the wind often gives it the measure of the place as much as the sea.
Harbour
Port Racine
Racine Harbour is a transitional location between work port and coastal scenery. Bridges, docks and boat movements give a very local living dimension. To get the best out of it, it is better to alternate overview and details of the maritime daily.
Trail
Sentier des douaniers
The customsman's trail runs a coast that changes in character, between open areas and more intimate sections. The reliefs of the shore orient the look and breath; the best scenes are often those where one stops before the next path. An ideal experience for an attentive walking rhythm.
