Location & Climate

Normandy offers a decent tanning season with good UV, but its Atlantic coast means weather can be unpredictable and cloud cover is common. Find sunny spots on the cliffs near Étretat or the open beaches during the midday hours when the sun is strongest.

Tanning Tips

Normandy has a distinct tanning season from April to October. Winter UV is too low for effective tanning.
