Berck (French pronunciation: [bɛʁk]), sometimes referred to as Berck-sur-Mer in French or Berck-su-Mér in Picard (transl. Berck on Sea), is a commune in the northern French department of Pas-de-Calais.[3]
Situated on the English Channel immediately north the mouth of the river Authie, Berck boasts over 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) of sandy beaches and grass-topped dunes,[4] and since the middle of the 19th century it has been a destination for convalescents and vacationers.
