In the early 1900s Equihen Plage was a fishing village. When boats were unrepairable local fishermen used them as roofs for their handmade shelters. At the time, the area was called Quartier des Quilles en l’Air: the neighborhood of keels in the air. Many of the dwellings were destroyed in WW2 but local families restored some of the old boathouses and built many new ones, some of which are tourist rentals.
