Dinard is a charming town that boasts lovely shops, restaurants, and a stunning beach. The beach can be easily accessed by car or by boat from Saint Malo harbor. Taking a boat transfer is particularly appealing as it provides breathtaking views of both locations from the water.

The beach is quite beautiful and has long walkways on both sides. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants with welcoming staff. Definitely worth checking out!

The Dinard Film Festival's big beach is a lovely spot with plenty of amenities such as a casino, coffee shops, and restaurants. It's also home to an Alfred Hitchcock statue. The beach itself is very clean and well-maintained, although it's worth noting that dogs are not allowed on the premises.

The beach is a stunning and serene location. The Atlantic ocean has receded, leaving a vast expanse of fine golden sand for beachgoers to enjoy. Some are lounging on the beach, while others are taking a dip in the warm, tranquil water. In the distance, sailboats can be seen drifting along the horizon. As the sun begins to set, it's the perfect time to unwind with a glass of delicious red French wine.

4 Frustrating

The beach is lovely and maintained well, but the extreme tide changes pose a significant risk for swimmers. Despite the presence of lifeguards, their numbers are limited and they are not present all day. Due to the strong currents that can drag swimmers out to sea during low tide and under waves during high tide, it would be beneficial for the lifeguards to have access to more advanced rescue equipment.
