Dinard Sunset: 7 Best Spots and Today's Sunset Time
Dinard, on the Emerald Coast in Brittany, is an ideal place to watch spectacular sunsets. With its fine sandy beaches, rugged cliffs and scenic seaside walks, the town offers plenty of breathtaking viewpoints. Whether you are a romantic at heart or a photographer chasing the perfect light, Dinard will not fail to amaze you.
Sunsets in Dinard are especially magical thanks to the variety of its scenery. Between the golden reflections on the sea and the silhouettes of its Belle Époque villas, every evening is an invitation to slow down and enjoy the moment. Here is our pick of the best spots to enjoy this unforgettable natural show.
1. Pointe du Moulinet
Pointe du Moulinet is probably one of the most iconic places to watch the sunset in Dinard. Between the Promenade du Clair de Lune and Plage de l'Écluse, this rocky headland offers a panoramic view over the bay of Saint-Malo. On clear days, the sky turns shades of orange and pink, creating a picture worthy of the most beautiful postcards. We still remember our first visit here, when we shared an improvised picnic and savored every second of that magical moment.
2. Plage de l'Écluse
Plage de l'Écluse is one of the largest beaches in Dinard and a must for sunset lovers. With its striped beach tents and long stretch of sand, it is the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. As the sun sinks below the horizon, its reflections on the water create a soothing, romantic atmosphere.
3. Promenade du Clair de Lune
The Promenade du Clair de Lune is another of Dinard's treasures. Lined with grand villas and flower gardens, this seafront walk along the Rance estuary offers stunning views over the water and the ramparts of Saint-Malo. In the evening, the last rays of the sun create a fascinating play of light and shadow. It is a perfect spot for a stroll hand in hand, enjoying the sea breeze and the show.
4. Pointe de la Malouine
Pointe de la Malouine is another spot not to be missed. Between Plage de l'Écluse and Saint-Énogat, this headland topped with villas offers a clear view over the sea and the surrounding islands. Sunsets here often come with clouds lit up in vivid colors, a different show every evening.
5. Plage de Saint-Énogat
Plage de Saint-Énogat is a charming little beach, quieter than Plage de l'Écluse but just as beautiful at sunset. The surrounding cliffs and Belle Époque villas add to the charm of this peaceful spot. As the sun goes down behind the cliffs, the atmosphere becomes calm and intimate.
6. The Sentier des Douaniers
The Sentier des Douaniers (the old customs officers' path, part of the GR34 coastal trail) is a coastal hike with many spectacular viewpoints over the sea. In the evening, the path is bathed in golden light, a unique experience for nature lovers. Watching the sunset from the heights of the trail is unforgettable.
7. Plage du Prieuré
Plage du Prieuré is another beautiful beach in Dinard. Facing the Rance estuary, it does not look out over the setting sun, but at the end of the day the golden light falls on the water and on Saint-Malo across the estuary. With its calm water and fine sand, it is a perfect place to relax as the day comes to a close.
