Plage de Figari
France · Corse
Figari beach, located in Pianottoli-Caldarello in the south of Corsica, offers a protected setting in a vast and calm bay. It is a popular spot for kitesurfers of all levels, with a large school on site and a thermal wind that picks up in the afternoon.
It is easily accessible via a track after the village, leading to the parking lot at the end. The area is perfect for relaxed navigation, and the sheltered bay is well-suited for families or beginners who want to progress without stress.
The spot is known for its flat water and relaxed atmosphere, although in summer it is important to stay away from bathers.

The spot mainly works with a west wind, which is onshore to side-on depending on the strength, reinforced by the thermal starting in the early afternoon in summer. The water is generally flat to slight chop, protected by the closed bay, with no notable waves even in strong winds.
Launching is done directly from the fine sandy beach, with a gentle slope and long standing area. The launch zone is wide at the edge of the parking lot, but the wind is gusty right in front: you need to move 100-200 meters offshore for consistent and clean conditions.
Navigation extends over a vast area in the bay, ideal for slalom or freeride, and you can go further out for wild scenery. Be cautious of marked bather zones in summer, and windsurfers near the school. Tides have little impact, the spot works well at both, but check the timings to avoid peak crowds.
