🎣 Fishing on the Côte Fleurie: a paradise for enthusiasts 🎣

Fishing is a true call to the open sea, combining adventure and discovery. Whether fishing from the shore, aboard a boat or even on foot along the coast, this activity offers a unique connection with the immensity of the ocean and its rich wildlife. Every trip out to sea promises moments of relaxation, challenges and excitement as you encounter the mysteries of the marine world, making sea fishing an experience that is as captivating as it is exotic. 🚤

Beach fishing: an unmissable activity on the Côte Fleurie 🦀

Especially at low tide, the vast sandy beaches and rocky areas reveal an unexpected wealth of marine life. Cockles, mussels, oysters and clams await enthusiasts armed with their baskets and rakes. This friendly and environmentally friendly practice is an opportunity to rediscover nature while harvesting fresh seafood. However, it is essential to respect quotas and minimum sizes to preserve this fragile ecosystem. 🦪

Another traditional and enjoyable activity that appeals to young and old alike is shrimp fishing. Equipped with a landing net and boots, fishermen scour sandy beaches or rocky areas at low tide in search of the famous brown shrimp. These small crustaceans, hidden in puddles or under seaweed, are a real culinary treasure. The best times to catch them are usually around spring tides, when the sea recedes further, revealing areas rich in marine life. Respecting minimum sizes and authorised quantities ensures sustainable and environmentally friendly fishing. 🦐

Seaside angling: a peaceful and captivating experience 🎣

For fishing enthusiasts, Houlgate Beach and Cabourg Beach are popular spots for anglers who come to catch sea bass and mackerel. A simple rod, some natural bait and a little patience are all you need to enjoy this activity. In the evening, when the twilight sets the sea ablaze, catches are often more plentiful, offering fishermen a spectacle that is as visual as it is gastronomic. The best times for angling are in September and October, at the end of summer ! ☀️
