Location : Plage aux Couronnes


 Location : Mortailes, Almer

The Eastern coast of Mortailes is famous for its gorgeous beaches. None more famous than the Plage aux Couronnes (beach of crowns). The sparkling, silken sand and colourful vegetation combined with the most gorgeous and unusual shells washing ashore make it a prime vacation spot. Early in the morning, when the tide recedes, the sealife left upon the shore sparkles like gems, giving the beach its name.

The Danakis are fiercely protective of the integrity of nature. As such, the beach is never overcrowded and kept utterly pristine. The collecting of those strange seashells is heavily regulated and one must pay a hefty sum to be able to bring one back with them.
