The Sentier des Douaniers (Customs Officers' Path) is a historic coastal trail that winds along Dinard's rugged shoreline. This local section of the long-distance GR34 footpath provides walkers with breathtaking views of the English Channel, sandy coves, and the iconic villas perched on the cliffs. The path is well-maintained and relatively easy, with occasional steps and uneven sections. Along the way, you'll pass the Plage de l'Écluse, the Pointe du Moulinet, and other landmarks. The trail is especially popular in spring and autumn when the weather is mild and the crowds are thinner. Interpretive signs highlight the area's maritime history and ecology. This is a must-do for anyone wanting to experience Dinard's natural beauty up close.
