Sangatte

Immediately east of Cap Blanc-Nez, the Sangatte beach marks a clear transition between the long sandy beaches of the Opal Coast and the iconic cliffs of the Strait of Pas-de-Calais. Exposed, powerful, and spectacular, it offers authentically maritime navigation, with England visible in clear weather. The spot is appreciated by local riders for its straightforward character and often intense sessions, but it requires a good reading of the conditions and a solid level to be exploited safely.
