The promenade at the mouth of the River Rance
Dinard's favourite walk is between the Pointe du Moulinet and the Prieuré beach. 1 km long, the promenade du Clair de Lune winds between the Mediterranean vegetation gardens, including a palm grove created in the 1930s, and the sea. The promenade is protected from the wind and offers breathtaking views over the bay of Saint-Malo, its lighthouse and the marina.
In summer, the promenade comes alive in the evening. It's the magic of «Moonlight»: illuminations and music accompany your evening out with a new theme every night.
