Paths and activities
The Chemin des Douaniers runs from Granville past the Jardin Christian Dior, overlooking the sea and beaches and offering views of the Chausey Islands. From the cliff, the path descends northwards to the promenade seawall of Donville-les-Bains. The Chemin de la Rafale continues the walk along the sea from the beach towards Champ de Courses.
At every high tide, it is possible to go shore fishing on foot at the beach of Donville-les-Bains, provided that the basic safety precautions are observed. In summer, beach and water sports are practised in Donville-les-Bains.
At the Bistrot de la Plage near the Ermitage car park, nautical activities include single and double kayaks as well as paddleboarding.
Orientation at the beach
A paved path leads along Plage de la Pointe du Lude to the first-aid station and the promenade. The same beach has a cycle path with a shelter, bicycle racks and a repair station.
