Outlet Canal Dike

This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Dunkerque, The City of Jean Bart
You’re now on the Allies’ Dike, bordered by the beach and the North Sea on one side and the outlet canal on the other. Built in 1876 to protect the city from sea invasions, the dike now serves as a peaceful path where locals come to walk, breathe in the sea air, and enjoy a moment of calm away from the city. It’s a favorite spot for a nature break in the heart of Dunkirk.
