Plage du Couchant
France · Occitanie
The Couchant Beach in La Grande-Motte, Occitanie, is a large beach that starts west of the port near the nautical center. It is located in the Couchant district and offers easy access with a large free parking area nearby. A designated kitesurf area is set up against the west quay of the port, ideal for independent and advanced practitioners.
This beach is equipped with lifeguard stations, sports areas like volleyball and football, and a cycling promenade that runs along it to Grand Travers. The technical equipment preparation areas are reserved on the beach, covering an area of about 1500 m².
The spot is appreciated for its relatively flat water and regular wind conditions, especially from the southeast.

The kitesurfing area is located between the west dam of the port and the nautical center, marked by buoys 300 meters from the shore. Riders must take off and land in this area, then navigate beyond 300 meters. Launching is done directly from Couchant Beach, access no. 14-15, with reserved technical areas for setting up equipment. In southeast wind (side-on to side-off depending on the angle), it is the best for this spot, with a water surface that can become wave when the waves break against the dam, perfect for surfkiting. In south or southwest wind, it is side-shore, with a choppy to wavy water surface near the port. Tides have little impact on the water surface, which remains navigable in average and high seas, but check the coefficients for outings. Be cautious of buffer zones prohibited for swimming and beach equipment when kiting is active. The wind must exceed 5 knots to activate the zones, and force 5 Beaufort in S/SE for a good session. Avoid navigating in the access channels to the port or mooring areas.
