Despite being set significantly back from the sea on the estuary of the River Léguer, Lannion gives its name to the next bay west along the Breton coast and it's the bay rather than the town that is most likely to impress visitors. One enormous beach stretches from St-Michel-en-Grève, which is little more than a bend in the road, as far as Locquirec; at low tide you can walk hundreds of metres out on the sands.
