OUR ADVICE FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE
---Do---	---Don't---
Make sure that the tide is out (http://maree.info/); In the summer season, the beaches of Wimereux, Ambleteuse, Wissant and Sangatte-Blériot have lifeguards. Even here you need protection from the sun: caps and sun cream are de rigueur. Explore the beach to find shells, algae and other natural objects with which to decorate your sandcastle	Don’t remove fossils from the cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez with which to decorate your sandcastle! Don’t leave any litter behind. Collect everything and dispose of it in the appropriate place. If you build a sandcastle close to the dunes, remember that they are fragile... if you want to explore them, keep to the trails!
