Brittany beaches and coastal resorts

Brittany has some of the finest beaches and coastline to be found in France. Picturesque fishing villages scattered between rocky coves, and lots of beautiful sandy beaches.

The coast of Brittany includes:

- the Emerald coast around Dinard in north-east Brittany includes the port town of St Malo and the resorts of Cancale and Sables d'Or les Pins

- the Cote de Granit Rose at the north of the Cotes d'Armor region, with Cap-Fréhel (and nearby Fort la Latte) includes Perros-Guirec

- the western part of Brittany includes the Finistere coastline and the towns of Brignogan-Plages and Benodet

- the Gulf of Morbihan

continuing to the south of Finistere you leave the English Channel and find the Atlantic beaches:

- the Cote des Legendes, which becomes...

- the Cote Sauvage further along southern Brittany. The Cote Sauvage includes many popular beaches, fishing villages and resorts, such as Belle-Ile-en-Mer, Quiberon, and the places around Morbihan and Carnac, and some popular islands off the coast.
