Barneville-Carteret is a resort on the west coast of the peninsula Cotentin (Basse-Normandy), which has a very mild climate thanks to the gulf stream. Due to the high quality of the sea water and the extraordinary cleanliness of the beaches, the city of Barneville-Carteret was distinguished with the 'European blue flag'. This idyllic tourist place is located across from the Channel islands Jersey and Guernsey and offers its visitors wide fine-sand beaches, a marina, a fishing harbour and a lot more. From the Cape down, hikers can enjoy a breathtaking panorama view over the sea and Jersey and with some luck, they can watch dolphins and sea lions that live on this coast.
