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

"AVOID. The place is disgusting. They over charged us/ripped us off. The area smells of poo (as it’s in a farm). The pool is green/mouldy. The receptionist had the worst most acrid body odour I’ve ever smelt. We were shown a smelly, small dark room (which we declined) We were going to stay at first having booked a room for 2 adults and 2 children. (As confirmed on the booking documentation) when arriving they said it would be another £50 per child and there had been a system mistake… I don’t...

"Great experience "

Best Western Plus Hotel Cargo

10/10 Excellent

"Our room Was huge with an amazing bathroom with an exercise bike in it!! A huge double wall in shower and massive bath tub. The room was fully equipped with a little kitchen and we were able to cook our own eggs in the morning. We didn’t use the breakfast option in the hotel. Dunkirk beach and sea front is a 30min walk away and even with children they managed an absolutely fine. The only thing I would say is the sofa bed was a bit too small for 2 children. With all the space we had they could have easily put another camp bed in there so they both had their own beds. We would highly recommend this hotel and would stay again. "

"We only booked a one night stay over on our way to our holiday destination. The apartment was clean, spacious and well equipped. There was a great play area for the children- it felt like a friendly community area. We would have been very happy to stay there several days and will definitely book again. "
