Classified as a official tourist resort, it falls within the Caps et Marais d'Opale regional nature park and at the southern entrance to the Grand Site des Deux Caps. The town has a pocket-sized central core with cafés and restaurants, two listed historic monuments, and a coastline of chalk cliffs that gives it a strong visual character.
