At first sight it may seem a heap of scrap metal, but in fact these are the stripped remains of the British steamer “H.M.S.Crested Eagle” on the beach of Zuydcoote (near Dunkirk). The wreck is a tragic reminder of the WWII Dunkirk evacuation: operation Dynamo. The Crested Eagle run aground on May 29, 1940 after being attacked by German dive bombers and set on fire, killing 300 soldiers and crew.
Operation Dynamo: between the 27th of May and the 4th of June of 1940, some 338.000 mainly British, but also French and Belgian troops were evacuated from the beaches as they fled a German advance towards the coast. The rescue was regarded as a success but there were also around 90,000 killed, wounded or taken prisoner. During the operation 243 ships were sunk and the RAF lost 106 aircraft.
The shipwrecks on the beach of Zuydcoote can only be seen at spring tides. This shot was taken during low tide on April 1st, 2018 #BeachTips! #BVSBlue #LocalSecrets #Trovember #History

"The flat was nice and cozy, in a great location, but we had a few negatives: The toilet sink had a harsh smell from the sewer, maybe it had not been used for long but it was quite distinct. We didn't want to turn on the heat during our stay, but we really could have used another duvet, my mom was freezing on the couch, and the blanket was not doing much. It would have been nice with some towels, don't know if I missed it in the description, but I forgot to bring my own."

Top Zuydcoote Hotel Reviews

Mercure Dunkerque Centre Gare

10/10 Excellent

"Such a friendly and accommodating team at Mercure Dunkerque. Spacious family room for a family of 4, comfy beds and convenient parking below the hotel. Amazing location for early morning Shuttle crossing to UK. We’ve stayed here twice when doing this journey and can’t wait to come visit again! "

Best Western Plus Hotel Cargo

10/10 Excellent

"This place is just perfect for families with small children pre or post a trip on the Eurotunnel (or indeed, staying in Dunkirk). Room 604 has a camped for 2 x kids and a kitchenette, with fridge/microwave etc. The bathroom is huge and has an exercise bike as well as large shower and bath, We have stayed here twice and loved both times. Breakfast was decent too for the price. If we were to make any suggestions on how to perfect the stay, we would say the camp bed could be slightly larger (a squeeze for a 2 and 5 year old) and there’s plenty of room for a larger one, and a couple of extra coffee pods/teabags in the kitchen :) "
