Dinard Beach

Dinard is a popular beach location on Brittany's Emerald Coast, particularly for families. This vintage coastal resort includes sandy beaches with colorful, striped beach tents and Belle Epoque houses.

Dinard's sandy shoreline overlooks the Rance Estuary and the English Channel. The majority of the beaches offer public restrooms and showers, as well as lounge chair and beach tent rentals.

The Plage de l'Ecluse has the most amenities, including an Olympic-size pool filled with saltwater. It is highly protected, and its waters are warmed by the Gulf Stream, which also offers moderate weather into the fall.

The Plage de Saint-Enogat is framed by stately 19th-century coastal homes, lending the beach an aristocratic aura. Because of the kids' club activities offered throughout the months of July and August, this beach is a popular destination for families with young children.

The Plage du Prieuré is an ideal area for relaxing and sunbathing, with views of Saint-Malo in the distance. This beach is located in the Baie du Prieuré, a peaceful cove with calm seas suitable for swimming and wading. Sporty people can enjoy an outdoor swimming pool, open-air fitness equipment, and kayaking options.

The Plage de la Grande Salinette is a family-friendly beach with protected waters in the neighboring village of La Houle on the magnificent Bay of Saint-Briac-sur-Mer. Lifeguards patrol this beach, which has a Blue Flag classification for safety, during the summer.
