Bonifacio

The Balistra beach, located on the east coast of Bonifacio in Southern Corsica, is a kitesurfing spot accessible a few kilometers from the city. Facing due east, it offers a natural setting with its white sand, clear waters, and a beach bar for refreshments. Classified as a natural beach, it is supervised in summer and equipped with a ramp for people with reduced mobility.

The free parking makes access easy from Bonifacio, Porto-Vecchio, or Figari. It is a family-friendly place appreciated for sliding, with schools like Bonifacio Windsurf offering wingfoil and windsurfing, even though the kite school Nustrale Ride closed in 2023.

The spot has hosted events like the Défi Wind Foil Corsica, connecting Balistra to Lavezzi and Piantarella.
