Emerald Coast
The Emerald Coast is the name given to the coast around Dinard, Saint Malo and Cancale, in northern Brittany. It was named becasue of the colour of the sea in the region. It falls in two departments of Brittany - Ille-et-Vilaine and Cotes d'Armor.
The headland at Cap Fréhel is perhaps the highlight, with its dramatic cliffs and setting, and best symbolises the Emerald Coast - rocky and cliffy headlands and promontories jutting into the sea, and backed by a landscape of gorse and heather.
There are several towns along the coast here, and plenty of campsites. Much of the coastline has beeen developed as holiday resorts, but the region retains a great deal of charm and appeal.
The most popular seaside towns include Cancale, Paramé, Saint-Briac, Saint Lunaire, Lancieux, Saint-Jacut de la Mer, Sables-d'Or-les-Pins and Saint-Cast-le-Guildo.
The broad sandy beaches at Erquy and Val-André are among the most popular, although many others are to be found scattered between the more jagged stretches of coastline.
Dinard and Saint-Malo are two of the larger towns to be found.
