The Cotentin Peninsula is famous for its green pasture land, hedges, cider apple orchards and of course its beautiful coastline which varies from chalk cliffs in the east to huge sandy beaches in the west.

There are granite cliffs in the west and limestone cliffs in the east. There are also long stretches of beach on both coasts of the region.

The dairy produce of the region is renowned: its cheeses are world famous and include Camembert, Livarot, Pont l'Evêque, Brillat-Savarin, Neufchâtel, and Boursin. Normandy butter is highly prized, as is Normandy cream, both of which are lavishly used in local gastronomic specialties. Fish and seafood are of superior quality in Normandy.
