Dunkerque Ferry Port Information
The Port of Dunkerque is situated in Northern France just 6 miles from the Belgium border. It is France's third largest port and provides ferry crossings from Dover to Dunkerque.
Dunkerque harbour evolved as a simple fishing base during the 8th century and subsequently became infamous as a haven for pirates who preyed on vessels in the North Sea. It later became known for the battle of Dunkerque and the Dunkerque evacuation in the second world war.
Today the dunes of Dunkerque make it a popular seaside resort for holiday makers. There are of course numerous restarants and shops in the town centre.
Many customers are finding that Dunkerque port is less busy than Calais and with direct links to the A16 and A25 motorways, going to Dunkerque can be more convenient than Dover - Calais for many destinations in France.
