Saint-Lunaire: Beaches, Paths and Heritage

Saint-Lunaire offers several starting points for planning a trip: beaches with different characteristics, the GR34 coastal path, a wooded valley and Romanesque heritage. When choosing a hotel, you can first consider which activities you want to shape your stay. Local features can help you plan time at the beach, walks, summer events and a cultural visit separately.

Beaches and Activities by the Sea

Grande Plage is accessible from the centre of Saint-Lunaire and lies between Pointe du Nick and Pointe du Décollé. Longchamp offers a different point of reference: the beach is 600 metres long and is well known among surfers and other board-sports enthusiasts.

The Fête de la Glisse takes place every year at Longchamp beach. The programme features activities related to surfing, sailing and skateboarding. Dates and the programme may change, so check the event details for the year you plan to travel if you want to include the festival in your plans.

At Fourberie beach, the bathing area has gently sloping sections suitable for small children. Bathing conditions can vary seasonally. At Fosse aux Vaults beach, you can combine a swim with a walk on Pointe du Nick.

The beaches therefore differ in ways that may matter to your plans: Longchamp is known for its length and board-sports scene, while Fourberie has gently sloping sections in its bathing area. At Fosse aux Vaults, the focus is on combining a swim with a walk.

Coastal Views and Walks

The GR34 coastal path runs through Saint-Lunaire. From Pointe du Décollé, you can enjoy panoramic views, with Saint-Malo on one side and Cap Fréhel on the other. If the view is a priority on your walk, this is a specific landmark to look out for in the landscape.

The Vallée de l’Amitié in the heart of Saint-Lunaire offers a different setting. This wooded valley is ideal for peaceful, shaded walks. The coastal path, viewpoint and valley offer different walking experiences: you can choose between the coastal scenery and a quiet woodland trail, rather than treating all walks as equivalent options.

Summer Markets in Saint-Lunaire

Since summer 2016, summer gourmet markets have been held in July and August on the seafront esplanade by the mini-golf course. If you want to include a market visit in your trip, check the specific dates and times for that year, as they may vary. This lets you fit a possible visit in with the rest of your plans without assuming fixed dates.

Romanesque Heritage

The Romanesque church in Saint-Lunaire dates from the 11th century and houses one of the finest collections of tomb effigies in Brittany. This historic and artistic site adds to the beaches and walking destinations. Access to the interior may vary by season; check visiting arrangements before you go.
