The Cap Blanc-Nez War Memorial (Dover Patrol Monument) is a major war memorial erected on the cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez, near Sangatte. It honours the British naval forces and the Dover Patrol, a key unit of the Royal Navy that secured the Straits of Dover during the First and Second World Wars.

The obelisk crowns a 133-meter-high ensemble on a pedestal that can be seen from afar. It is THE landmark to reach to enjoy a 360° panorama from the top of the cliffs of Cap Blanc Nez.
When the German army took possession of the Opal Coast in May 1940, this monument was immediately destroyed. The current Dover Patrol dates from the early 1960s. The last restoration took place in 2007.

The Dover Patrol was a Royal Navy command during World War I, whose main task was to prevent German ships, mainly submarines, from crossing the Channel into the Atlantic Ocean. It consisted of several naval ships and aircraft, and performed various tasks, including anti-submarine patrols, escorting ships, laying and clearing naval mines, and bombing German military positions. After the war, memorials were erected in memory of the Dover Patrol in various locations including Dover, Cap Blanc-Nez and New York.
