Geography
The little town is near the sea but, unusually for this stretch of coast, it has no beach of its own.
For road users, Ploubalay deserves the epithet carrefour des plages/"crossroads of the beaches". It is crossed by the D2 departmental road connecting Dinan with the coast and by the D786 linking Plancoët with Dinard.
