This chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Sea was built in 1859 at 100 meters from the beach.

Like many others in the region, the chapel at Cayeux-sur-Mer symbolizes the rich maritime past of this area where, until the late 1940s, fishermen landed their fish directly on the beach. Dedicated to Notre-Dame-de-la-Mer, it was built in 1859 100 meters from the beach, where sailors used to pray before setting sail and on their return, as a sign of thanks. The façade shows Mary on a boat, arriving at the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer. The whole gives off a gentle, peaceful atmosphere.

Typique du bord de mer
De passage à Cayeux, ne manquez pas la Chapelle des Marins. Rien que le tympan de l'entrée vaut le détour : c'est une splendide sculpture sur bois de la vierge et l'enfant arrivant en barque devant une foule variée de personnages. A l'intérieur, je m'attendais à voir plus d'ex-voto, mais il n'y a qu'une maquette de bateau de pêche.

My husband and I have been touched by this small "Chapelle" dedicated to the sea men.
The frontispice is awesome but badly preserved as is the Chapel itself. It does deserve a better treatment
the neighbors have been very welcoming and allowed us to enter their garden to take a look a the side of the Chapel
Thanks to them!

Petite chapelle en briques rouges que nous avons pu visiter car il y avait une très jolie exposition de photos dans le cadre du festival des oiseaux. Le chœur de la chapelle était accessible. A remarquer à l'extérieur : le fronton en bois représentant Notre-Dame de Boulogne sur la façade est très original. Mérite un petit détour après avoir fait la digue sur les planches et admirer les petites cabines de bains qui venaient d'être installées, à perte de vue...

Jolie petite chapelle qui ne fait qu'ajouter au charme du patelin.
