Set on the edge of a natural harbor, Portbail takes pride in its stunning outdoor scenery. What was once a thriving trading port in the Gallo-Roman and early Christian eras is now a leading holiday destination in Manche.

The bordering coastline, on the other hand, is a popular spot for sand yachting and water sports.
