Baie de Slack

* We have stayed in Wimereux several times usually at the beginning or the end of a longer holiday . On this occasion we had two days there so we could explore the area a little more . Between Wimereux and the small settlement at Ambleteuse is a very interesting area of very established and impressive sand dunes. The dunes are well protected but there is a designated path so you can view them. I will post a shot or two of the Dunes at some point Eventually you arrive on the beach of the Baie de Slack . This shot was taken looking north towards Ambleteuse. One interesting detail in the seventeenth century fort built to defend the River Slack estuary

Fort d'Ambleteuse is a sea fort by the commune of Ambleteuse .The fort was built at the end of the 17th century by the military architect Vauban on the orders of Louis XIV to defend the port in the estuary of the Slack. It was designated a Monument historique in the 1960s.
