Yport is a traditional fishing village situated on the Alabaster coast in the Seine-Maritime department of Normandy, between Fecamp and Etretat.

The village is one of the smaller resorts in the region and contains a mix of small fishing houses and larger 19th century properties built at the time that Yport started to become an established seaside resort.
