Dinard first came to prominence during the 19th century and was one of the mots fashionable resorts in Europe. It was the destination of choice for wealthy British and American holidaymakers, who built magnificient villas in and around the town.
There are two ways to get to Dinard:
By ferry: a small ferry makes the short 10 minute crossing from the Porte de Dinan allowing for some refreshing views of both the river and St Malo

Nowadays, the square named after Marshall Joffre, half way along the main beach of Plage de l'Ecluse is the focal point of the town.
A casino, a swimming pool, hotels and restaurants look out over the large sansdy beach which is backed by a neat line of blue and white sun shelters.
