Visit nearby Mont Saint Michel - a monastery and town built on a tiny outcrop of rock in the sand, which is cut off from the mainland at high tide. It is one of France's major tourist destinations, and as such gets very busy in high season. Check the times of the tides before you visit!
Cross the Rance Tidal Dam Barrage de la Rance and see Dinan; especially in October when the town hosts its annual English Film Festival lots of US films, too. Casino, sandy beaches, high cliffs studded with quaint, Victorian-era houses, many with conical tower tops; covered market.
Venture west beyond Dinan to the Côte d'Emeraude Emerald Coast to find even more luscious sandy beaches and little-known towns such as St-Lunaire and St-Cast first French town to liberate itself from Nazis by own efforts, 1944 and the lonely, craggy, atmospheric Cap Fréhel, where in spring you can see gannets, the superb large seabird that never otherwise comes within sight of shore.
