About
La Fourberie beach marks the transition between Saint-Lunaire and Dinard, right next to Port-Blanc. A large fine-sand beach facing north-north-west, it is easy to recognise thanks to the Tour Blanche, a former sea mark above the beach. It offers a lovely view of the Île de Cézembre. The town describes it as family-friendly and intimate, with gentle slopes in the swimming area, particularly suited to young children. Swimming is lifeguarded in July and August and possible at both high and low tide. Water quality was rated excellent in 2025. The beach has toilets and a first-aid post. It is not listed as wheelchair accessible, but some swimming aids, a Hippocampe and a Tiralo, are available. Access is by a ramp at the end of Rue Émile Bergerat, with free parking. Pets are allowed from 16 September to 14 June.
