Plage de Anghione
France · Corsica
The beach of Anghione, in Castellare-di-Casinca, stretches along a long strip of fine sand on the eastern coast of Corsica. It is a spot often appreciated for its easy access, parking by the beach, and its fairly quiet atmosphere outside the most frequented areas.
For kitesurfing, Anghione remains interesting when the wind is well established. The water surface is generally cleaner than on beaches very exposed to waves, with a comfortable navigation area along the shore. However, the area does require keeping an eye on the crowd and the available space for takeoff.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The spot mainly works with a side-shore to side-on wind depending on the day's direction, which allows for safer navigation along the beach. With too much onshore wind, the area becomes shorter and the pickup can quickly become annoying. With too much offshore wind, one should avoid going out, as returning to shore becomes delicate.
The launch is done directly from the sandy beach, with a launch area to choose far from swimmers and families. The edge is wide, which helps to prepare the equipment, but one must remain discreet and clean in the takeoff space. When the sea is calm, one navigates on a rather flat to slightly choppy water surface, sometimes with a small shorebreak depending on the swell and the season.
The spot is well-suited for riders who know how to manage their trajectory near the shore. The long sections of sand allow for easy walking and repositioning, but one must watch out for more crowded areas and keep a margin with other beach users. Navigation is more enjoyable when the sea is not crowded and the wind is regular.
