Honfleur itself has only a small beach, Plage du Butin, at the edge of town. For a proper dog swim, most owners head along the Côte Fleurie to Trouville, Deauville, or Villerville, or across the Seine to Le Havre. Each has its own seasonal rules on dog access, so check the current dates before you go.
