Lindbergh Plage, also known as Plage Lindbergh, is a beach located in the commune of Saint-Lô-d'Ourville in the Manche department of France. This beach is a delegated municipality of Port-Bail-sur-Mer, a region known for its natural beauty and leisure activities. Often visited by tourists, Lindbergh Plage's location between the dunes of Lindberg and Denneville-Plage makes it a popular destination.
The beach is named after Charles Lindbergh, the American aviator who completed the first solo transatlantic flight in 1927. Although Lindbergh never flew over the beach, his visit to the nearby Lessay Aerodrome inspired the name. This naming was part of a larger real estate development project that aimed to transform the area into a luxury seaside resort. While this ambitious project, which included plans for numerous amenities such as villas, a monument dedicated to Lindbergh, an airport, a racecourse, a golf course, tennis courts, and a seaplane base, did not come to fruition, the name Lindbergh Plage remains.
Today, Lindbergh Plage is recognized for its cleanliness and the warmth of its sea. The beach's natural characteristics include lovely dunes that enhance the beauty of the area. In terms of amenities, the beach is relatively simple, featuring a bar and a boutique as the primary attractions.
Parking at Lindbergh Plage is easy, making it convenient for visitors. Despite a time-limited ban, dogs are often seen enjoying the beach alongside their human companions. While the beach is a popular destination, it is not typically overcrowded, making it a peaceful retreat for those visiting the area.
