Seaside parking, noisy nights
59820, Gravelines
Been here?
This spacious parking area is about 100m from the sea, beside a nuclear power plant. The beach is large and quiet, but the area can be noisy at night from the plant, anglers, conversations and passing traffic. Access across the dunes leads to the beach, where blueish jellyfish were reported.

Paved, shaded and quiet area. Drinking-water tap. A little 4G reception. Convenient if you need a short stopover in the area. Nothing exceptional in the immediate surroundings.
Parking next to the nuclear power plant, lots of noise at night from fishermen coming and going and migrant crossings.

Okay for an emergency stop: We arrived in the evening and there were many cars, apparently anglers. Quite noisy at night; people talked for a long time. Someone shone a light into the car while we were sleeping. The ground consists of coarse stones and sand—some people had apparently got stuck. Only conditionally suitable for a quiet night.

Nice place to spend the night and close to Calais for taking the ferry to England.
