Emerald Coast Walking Holidays

The Emerald Coast runs from the walled port of Saint-Malo west past Dinard’s belle epoque villas to the heath and 70m cliffs of Cap Frehel. The customs path hugs the shore for almost all of it, dipping into Saint-Briac, Saint-Lunaire and Erquy on the way. Expect golden coves between rocky headlands, mussel beds, small harbours and clifftop castles, with days of roughly 15 to 18km and little sustained climbing.
