Ecluses Le Crotoy — photo spot in Baie de Somme, Le Crotoy, France
Ecluses Le Crotoy
Historic tidal locks at Le Crotoy open onto the Baie de Somme’s vast mudflats — mix of boats, weathered wood, salt marsh and migratory birds. Shoot at low tide for graphic patterns and reflections on wet sand; at high tide the moored boats against a pastel sky make classic coastal compositions. Easy access from town with street parking and short walks; no entry fee. Best light is sunrise and golden-hour sunset; autumn and spring bring raptor and wader migrations.
