Enjoy Riva-Bella Beach
The Riva-Bella beach is one of the best places to start your stay. Its long stretch of sand is perfect for a walk along the seafront, a relaxing break or simply enjoying the atmosphere of the Normandy coast. The beach is also close to the town centre, making it easy to explore Ouistreham on foot.
Discover the Port of Ouistreham
The port is one of the town’s landmarks. You can watch the ferries coming and going, walk along the quays and discover the fishing activity around the harbour. It is also a great place to enjoy fresh seafood and discover the local atmosphere.
Explore the Pointe du Siège
For a quieter experience, head to the Pointe du Siège. This natural area is located where the Orne River meets the sea and offers pleasant walks through dunes, pine trees and salt marshes. It is an ideal spot for discovering the natural side of Ouistreham.
Visit Pegasus Bridge
Just a few minutes from Ouistreham, Pegasus Bridge is an important site connected to the D-Day landings of June 1944. The area is home to the museum dedicated to the British airborne troops who played a key role during the Normandy landings. It is a worthwhile visit for anyone interested in the history of the region.
Where to Eat After Your Ferry Crossing
After a ferry crossing, there is nothing better than sitting down for a good meal. Ouistreham has several restaurants and brasseries where you can enjoy fresh seafood, traditional French dishes and local specialities. At Le Phare, just a short distance from the seafront, you can enjoy a relaxed meal in a friendly brasserie atmosphere. Moules, seafood and other generous dishes make it a convenient stop after arriving in Ouistreham or before heading back to the ferry.
