- Visit the cliffs (Falaise d'Aval and Needle of Étretat) early morning or at sunset to avoid tour bus crowds
- Wear sturdy shoes for cliff-top trails; parts of the paths close in bad weather or during nesting season
- Tide times matter for the pebble beach—check schedules before planning coastal walks
- Book accommodation well in advance for summer and weekends; the village is small and fills up fast
- Cash/cards both accepted, but some small restaurants close mid-week off-season—check hours
