Agon-Coutainville

Few towns in Normandy have a history as closely tied to the sea and shellfish harvesting as Agon-Coutainville. On the west coast of the Cotentin Peninsula, the commune faces the English Channel, while Pointe d’Agon marks the southern side of the Havre de Regnéville, the Sienne estuary. Broad tidal flats support local oyster and mussel farming, and the shoreline changes markedly between high and low water. Coutainville developed as a seaside resort, adding villas, a promenade and a casino to the older settlement of Agon. Beaches and dunes give the town an open maritime character.
