- In high season (July-August), the Saint-Valery and Fort-Mahon-Plage areas are regularly fully booked by mid-afternoon.
- Plan to arrive before 4pm or opt for a classic camping reservation on busy weekends.
- In low season, the Baie de Somme is particularly pleasant: less crowded, sublime photographic light and seals clearly visible at the Pointe du Hourdel.

Prices may change during the season. Please enquire directly at the town halls or at the pre-parking kiosks.
