Turismo
Perros-Guirec is a seaside resort, with sandy beaches and water and beach sports. It is known for its pink granite rocks which have been sculpted by the sea into varied shapes and patterns. There are three large sandy beaches suitable for families: Trestraou beach is suitable for swimming, sunbathing as well as surfing, as it is sheltered and receives full sunshine; Trestrignel beach is wilder and more exposed to the wind; Saint-Guirec beach is smaller and even more picturesque with the presence of the Costaeres Castle on its island in front of it.
Perros-Guirec has a number of seafront villas and manors, many of which are built with pink granite extracted locally.


Economy
Perros-Guirec's economy is largely based on tourism but benefits also from its proximity to Lannion technopole. The nearby Grand Isle, separated from the mainland by a narrow channel, was once famous for its granite quarrying industry. The rock was transported from the island by boat, and was used in the construction of many imposing buildings in Paris.

Joseph Conrad lived here for several years and wrote many of his most famous maritime books during that period.
