Location
Detailed information
The wind blows favorably all year round on this beach, making it a very reliable spot. Conditions are particularly excellent on mistral days, the local wind blowing from the northwest with strength and regularity. The orientation of the beach allows for good exposure to the dominant wind, creating side-shore to side-on conditions depending on the precise direction of the flow.
The navigation area is well-defined and secure, with easy access from the sandy beach. Waves are present, making this spot particularly appreciated for kitesurfing in dynamic conditions. However, caution: water sliding activities are prohibited during the summer season (approximately June to September). It is imperative to inquire with the Bormes-les-Mimosas Tourist Office to know the exact periods of authorized navigation.
The beach is very short, requiring some skill for take-offs and landings. Winter conditions can be cold and the wind very strong, making this spot not recommended for beginners.
