A Touch of Fantasy
Malo-les-Bains is a lively seaside resort where Belle Époque villas exude a touch of fantasy. Book a small hotel just steps from the beach, lay your towel on the golden sand, and enjoy the lively atmosphere.

Malo-les-Bains Beach

Highlight • Other

A beautiful beach that is part of the largest seaside resort in the department. Bordered by many restaurants and cafes, the central part is very lively, especially in the summer.

This beach was one of the sites of Operation Dynamo in 1940. 340,000 British, Belgian and French soldiers were evacuated from the beaches and port of Dunkirk, and headed for England.

Monument des Alliees

Highlight • Historical Site

The Battle of Dunkirk took place in May and June 1940 during the Western campaign during the Second World War. During the German western campaign, the northern French city of Dunkirk was the last evacuation harbor of the British Expeditionary Force, which was used in France in 1939/40 as part of the initially defensive strategy of the Western Allies.
The British and French succeeded in defending the bridgehead until they had evacuated over 330,000 out of some 370,000 of their soldiers in Operation Dynamo.
The capture of the city by the German Wehrmacht took place on 4 June 1940.

Grand Large Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

A beautiful footbridge built in 2015 to connect the Grand Large district to the beach of Malo-les-Bains. It has become a place for walks, allowing walkers and cyclists to pass between the port, the town and the beach in complete tranquility.
