If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of tips. Located 25 miles away, Barneville-Carteret is worth hopping in the car for. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Barneville Beach, Carteret Beach and Cote des Isles Golf. The locals will also probably point you toward Plage de Biville, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Vauville Botanical Garden. (But we’re also huge fans of Ludiver Observatory and Planetarium and Plage du Blockhaus.)
