Dinard's main draw card is its beaches. The main beach is called Plage de l'Ecluse or Grande Plage, which sits in a small bay surrounded by grand old mansions and impressive holiday rentals.
I can imagine that the beach gets pretty crowded in peak season, but when we were there mid-week in June there was plenty of room on the sand to relax….especially as the tide went out and the beach got bigger and bigger and bigger!!
There are some nice old changing sheds along the beach and apparently Picasso used the beach as a setting for several paintings in the 1920's!
If you walk west, around the headland from Plage de l'Ecluse, after about 1km you will come another beach, Plage de St-Enogat. Or, around 1km south you will find Plage du Prieure, which is a good place to escape some of the summer crowds.

Ok, so there isn't a great deal to do in Dinard besides relax on, or by the beach. So in between the relaxing and ice cream eating, make sure you take a walk along the beautiful coast line.
We took a leisurely walk along the path that starts from the west end of the Grande Plage (main beach) and follows the coast around to Plage de St-Enogat. It is a lovely walk, with impressive house up on the cliff to peer at, and the blue water beside you, along with rock pools to peer down into and fish to spot. Oh, and check out the view across the bay to St-Malo.
You can actually take a walk along the coast path from Plage du Prieure (1km south of the main beach) to Plage de St-Enogat (1km west of the main beach).
And just think, the more walking you do, the more ice cream you can justify!

This 750m beidge over the Rance estuary carries between St.Malo and Dinard. Using generates electricity by harnessing the lower estuary's extraordinarily high tidal range.
