Merlimont Bunker Cemetery (Berck, France)
General information about Bunkerkerkhof
Along the North Sea and The Channel, you can see several remains of World War II bunkers. On the beach and of Merlimont / Berck in northern France, however, you can still find a real bunker cemetery. We have no knowledge of the existence of another such bunker cemetery on a beach. The bunkers are downright impressive and many of them are now beautifully decorated by graffiti artists. Definitely worth a visit. The site is also referred to as the "Blockhaus of Berck."
Of course, take a walk through the Dunes of Merlimont. This nature reserve of 92 hectares can be compared to the nature reserve "The Westhoek" in De Panne. A good starting point on the south side of this dune area is the parking lot located at the Camping Ami-Ami. This is the easiest way to reach the cemetery. On the North side you can also walk through this dune area: look for the "Parabolic Dune Discovery Route" in Merlimont-Plage (in French: "Sentier Découverte De La Dune Parabolique").
