antistar Says: There are lots of nice walking opportunities around the village, especially up into the coastal hills that overlook the sea, beaches and the village itself. There's a lighthouse somewhere, although we couldn't find it, but it was nice enough just to wander about aimlessly....
antistar Says: ...or you can sit grumpily on the coastal wall, on a scorching August afternoon, and pretend to read a French newspaper, as if the words meant anything to you, while getting very sunburnt, and kinda hungry because you had to throw away the burger you bought from the little...
antistar Says: The village has a pretty little harbour, filled with small yachts and fishing boats bobbing up and down in the shallow water in front of the village's sea front. It makes a great place for a coffee on a sunny day.
antistar Says: Looking out towards Jersey and the Atlantic, Carteret has some wonder beaches to sunbathe on, or just to walk along. If you are coming to a seaside town like this, it would be surprising if the beach wasn't top of your list of places to visit!

antistar Says: Being such a small place, Carteret has limited travel opportunities, but amazingly it does have a ferry port. Supposedly, and I remember seeing adverts for the trip while I was there, Emeraude runs regular ferries from Carteret to several of the Channel Islands, including...

antistar Says: ...so I will throw in this picture of me appearing to sitting in a yogic trance on the sea wall in Carteret. I think I was still pondering the bloody burger.
antistar Says: You can get more information on the village online at the Normandy and Barneville-Carteret tourist sites.
extrajoce Says: The coastline in Normandie is a beautiful succession of beaches and cliffs, as can be seen here from the lighthouse hill in Carteret. It makes for a good destination in the evening.
extrajoce Says: Carteret is a great place to have a view of the coast, as there is a lighthouse at the top of the cliff. From there it is possible to see the lovely seaside town of Port-Bail.
extrajoce Says: This lighthouse can be seen from the surrounding beaches in the evening and at night. It provides a very nice viewpoint facing towards the sunset.
