Parking is available at the Salle Polyvalente and the Tourist Office (Avenue des Dunes).
(S/E) With your back to the Salle Polyvalente and the Tourist Office, leave the car park, turn left and walk up Avenue des Dunes to the bend. About 20 metres before the bend, turn left, cross the green space and the car park, then join the tarmac cul-de-sac. Continue along the path until you reach the Cabourg road. Turn right and walk about 50 metres to reach the pedestrian crossing between the bus stop and the notary's office.
(1) Carefully cross Route de Cabourg (D514), continue on the right on the left-hand pavement (towards Sallenelles and Caen) for about 200 metres, then take the first road on the left. Follow Avenue de la Hogue du Moulin on the left-hand pavement, crossing Avenue Pierre et Marie Curie and then Avenue Barbey d'Aurevilly. At Avenue des Belges (opposite side), cross and change pavements to continue on the right until you reach the first path on the right.
(2) Turn right, take Chemin du Buisson and negotiate the left-hand bend. Cut across Chemin des Coteaux, continue straight ahead and ignore Chemin des Banques on the right. Further on, ignore Rue des Mariniers on the left, then continue straight ahead on Rue du Colonel Otway until you reach Avenue de la Batterie de Merville. Turn right, head towards the Batterie de Merville and continue to Place du9e Bataillon and the museum entrance.
(3) Go back about 20 metres, take the protected passageway and follow the tree-lined path. Walk along the residential area on your left, pass the stud farm on your right and continue to the road. Carefully cross Rue de Descanneville (D223) and continue opposite, walking along the residential area on your left until you reach a left-hand bend among the fields. Continue to the buildings at a place called Le Marais, take a second left-hand bend and continue along Chemin des Roncherons.
(4) At the end of this road, turn right onto Chemin du Marais and follow it for about 1,700 metres.
(5) Near the first campsite on the left, turn onto the left-hand track and then, about 100 metres further on, at the fork, continue on the right so that you pass the campsite on your left. Then pass between the first and second campsites, go past the entrance to the campsite on the left (Les Peupliers) and continue to Allée des Pins. Turn left and follow this lane until you reach a major road.
(6) Taking care, at the edge of the commune of Home Varaville, cross the D514 using the protected crossing on the right, then turn left onto the Cabourg road and walk along the pavement on the right for about 50 metres until you reach the first path on the right. Turn right onto Chemin du Bout du Home, follow it all the way to the top, cross the dune and then go down to the beach.
(7) At the foot of the dune, turn left and walk along the beach for about 2.3 km until you reach an access ramp near a large square.
(8) Go up the ramp, turn right and walk along the car park towards the pylon and antennas. Turn left into the middle lane, cross the car park and Boulevard Wattier, then follow Avenue Houdart on the right-hand side.
(9) Cross Avenue de Versailles and Place de la Plage (small market hall on the left), then walk up Avenue de Paris for about 600 m until you reach Avenue des Dunes on the right. Cross this avenue, turn right and you will reach the Tourist Office car park and the parking area (S/E).
