Vauville
Vauville beach, located on the Cotentin coast in Normandy, offers a wild and uncrowded setting with a wide stretch of sand and cliffs behind the beach. It is a spot favored by locals for its often consistent wind and its orientation favorable for wave and foil sessions. Vauville is especially known to riders for its long beaches and easy access from the D650.
The beach hosts both kitesurfing, windsurfing, and surfing practitioners. The atmosphere is quite relaxed and the spot rarely gets crowded, even in the summer season. Cotentin is the reference region for kitesurfing in Normandy.
