Ecluse beach

Ecluse is the main beach of French southern resort town of Dinard. It is located in the northwest of the city, at the confluence of the Rance River into the English Channel. There is a specious promenade to the Ecluse Beach, and on both sides it is surrounded by beautiful buildings (mostly casinos) and stylish villas. Ecluse is a great place to rest at the weekend, where you can enjoy the sun and sand without leaving the bosom of civilization.

Beach description

Ecluse is a wide, but not very long sandy strip, where many people - both tourists and locals - always rest. It is especially popular with families with children, older couples and the British. Not far from the water you can see rows of striped white and blue tents, which simultaneously serve as sun loungers and protect from the sun. The sandy, hollow beachline slips under the water, slowly gaining depth, so Ecluse is the perfect place for kids and those who cannot swim. At low tide, the sea can retreat, increasing the space for sunbathing. At the entrance to the beach you can see the statue of Alfred Hitchcock welcoming vacationers.

The infrastructure on the beach is very well developed: it has sun loungers, and there is a emergency room next to it in case of unforeseen incidents. There is a club for kids. Where Ecluse is adjacent to the city center, you can find a variety of snack bars and restaurants for every taste and wallet. The parking lot to the Ecluse is paid.
