Calais Beach

Reviewed By Drew040874 - London, United Kingdom

We visited on a glorious summers day and spent the whole day on the beach. They have done a brilliant job in renovating the area. The beach is clean with very attentive life guards. The facilities are clean and tidy and plenty of places to get snacks or something more formal, there are restaurants are close by. First time swimming in the English Channel. Was fun watching all the ferries coming and going to and from Dover. The ferries don’t disrupt your visit to the beach. Free all day parking. Something the UK seaside towns needs to do! Can’t wait to go back.

The Burghers of Calais

Reviewed By Nanette132 - Brisbane, Australia

Read the story and you can't help be moved by the history behind the sculptures and it's captured here in Calais in front of the famous town hall, and set amongst a very well maintained garden of tulips, standard roses irises etc.

This park is huge and is very well maintained with large beautiful flower beds bursting at the seams, play areas for the children and winding walks through the large trees providing plenty of shade on those hot days. Definitely worth a visit if you have a few hours for a wander.
