• Walk the beach promenade, admire the mansions.
• Do take the ferry to Deauville. It’s a one minute boat ride across the river, bringing you to a landing point in Deauville. It’s a fun ride.
  
  
  
• When the tide is out, the ferry operator pulls out a walking bridge allowing you to walk to the other side. Again, it’s a fun little walk.
  
  
  
• The casino is quite nice and big, although the majority of gambling are slot machines.
• There is a very new and modern spa/thalasso/wellness, which is well equipped. The small warm salt water pool is ideal for your blood circulation.
• There is a small boot tour which shows you the coast area.
