Fos-sur-Mer

The Cavaou beach, located in Fos-sur-Mer in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, is a large stretch of sand over a kilometer long. Lined with free parking, it attracts kitesurfers despite the factories and oil tankers in the background. It's an industrial spot that delivers heavy conditions for experienced riders.

The spot is favored with a South-East wind where conditions become powerful with marked waves. The launch is easy on the wide beach, and there is space to ride without too many people. You can also combine kite sessions and sunbathing with family.

Close to Marseille, it's a must for intermediates and advanced riders looking for a challenge on a varied water surface.
