2nd lunch at the Moulerie in Port en Bessin.

I had written it to you previously in my first comment. We will return there. Well, it is done. Today, May 31st, for Mother's Day. This noon, under a beautiful sun in Port en Bessin, we had reserved at the Moulerie. Not disappointed again with our lunch. We had mussels again; I chose the gorgonzola or camembert sauce, my husband chose the Normandy sauce with cream, mushrooms, and a hint of Calvados. A delight, even though it is true that the bouchot mussels are still slightly small, but they are French, and in a few weeks they will start to be bigger. The owner compensates with a quantity greater than normal, so you do not lose out. To finish, we had a very generous baba au rhum accompanied by a scoop of ice cream of your choice and a salted caramel sauce with whipped cream. I provide all these details to prove to you that this new couple who took over this establishment just over a month ago puts all their heart and passion for local cuisine into satisfying you. The setting is nice, the cleanliness impeccable (I even specify in the restrooms +++++) which is not always the case in some other restaurants we have visited. I wish this couple good luck as they give their all to warmly welcome you to their establishment.

Quite disappointing

This 'tour' was quite disappointing. You just drive along the beach for a kilometer or two. The guide gets out and you look around in the sand for Pipi's (shells). Afterwards you drive back the way you come and get dropped off at the sandboarding spot. Effectively you are just paying for a beach drive. I would save money and just do the sand boarding as a standalone experience. To call a beach drive an 'exploration of the sand dunes' is very much an overstatement.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations. We do our best to advertise our tours for exactly what they are, and we certainly never want guests to feel misled. This tour is intended to be a guided beach and dune experience, including a short drive along the beach, some local insight from the guide, and the stop at the sandboarding area. We understand that this style of tour may not suit everyone, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. Your comments are valuable and we will take them on board as we continue to review how we describe this experience to ensure it is as clear and accurate as possible for future guests.

It is truly a wonderful experience for both adults and kids

The ride on the 4WD bus was exciting and the sand dunes were so beautiful. The sand was soft and surprisingly cool even on a sunny day. The sand boarding activity is a wonderful experience not to be missed.

Great day at the beach and sand boarding

We had a great time on the beach digging for pipis and watching them dig back into the sand. And we had a blast sand boarding! It is easy and fun to go down. But it was a good workout to get back up! We really enjoyed this trip!
