Barneville-Carteret stretches between the English Channel and the Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy, and that exposed coastal position has shaped it as a commune of beaches, harbour life and maritime links. It brings together the historic settlements of Barneville and Carteret, the latter centred on a harbour with seasonal passenger services to the Channel Islands. Cap de Carteret rises above the port, while Barneville-sur-Mer follows a broad sandy shore. The Church of Saint-Germain in Barneville reflects the area’s older architectural heritage.
