Depending on the tides and the ever-changing sky, bays, creeks, cliffs, and tiny islands form a range of different scenery along the 350 kilometres (218 miles) of coastline in Côtes d'Armor.

Nearby, sheltered from the whims of the open sea, are lakes and rivers offering a chance to enjoy other sports in areas where water and land meet and combine.

Everything about the natural environment in Côtes d'Armor seems to be an invitation to unfurl the sails.
