Plage de l'Ecluse
10 Lena Kozlovski

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.
