Discovering Saint-Briac-sur-Mer

Visiting Saint-Briac-sur-Mer during your stay in Dinard

Just minutes from Dinard and the Hôtel des Tilleuls, Saint-Briac-sur-Mer is one of those villages that is a delight to discover on foot.

Renowned for its beaches and unspoiled coastline, the town charms visitors with its natural setting and peaceful atmosphere.

A Breton village with preserved character

Saint-Briac-sur-Mer has successfully retained its Breton identity. A stroll through the town center reveals quiet lanes, stone houses, and distinctive villas that reflect the town's history as a seaside resort.

The atmosphere here is calmer than in the coast's larger seaside resorts. It is easy to take your time wandering the central streets or making your way to the seafront at your own pace.

Some of the region's most beautiful beaches

The coastline boasts several beaches, each with its own unique atmosphere. The landscape shifts with the tides throughout the day, adding to the area's charm.

Grande Salinette Beach is arguably the most popular. With its fine sand and views of nearby islets, it is a favorite spot for both families and water sports enthusiasts.

Béchet Beach, which expands significantly at low tide, attracts walkers and those who enjoy shore fishing.

For those seeking a quieter spot, Petite Salinette and Port Hue offer a pleasant setting for a seaside break.

Discovering the Customs Officers' Path

No visit to Saint-Briac-sur-Mer is complete without walking a section of the famous GR34, also known as the "Customs Officers' Path" (*sentier des douaniers*).

The trail runs along the coast, offering varied sea views and access to wilder areas that can only be reached on foot.

Dinard Golf Club: A favorite among enthusiasts

Saint-Briac-sur-Mer is also home to the Dinard Golf Club, one of the oldest golf courses in France.

Situated by the sea, it is prized as much for its course as for its location.

Even if you aren't a golfer, the setting is well worth a visit, offering a chance to appreciate a different side of the coastline.

Exploring the Emerald Coast

Located less than a 15-minute drive from the hotel, Saint-Briac-sur-Mer fits easily into your itinerary for exploring the Emerald Coast.

After your visit, return to the comfort of your room at the Hôtel des Tilleuls and continue discovering the region.
