Plage de Morgat
France · Bretagne
The Morgat beach, located in the Morgat cove in Crozon, Brittany, offers a water area that is always accessible and protected from prevailing winds. It is a popular spot for water sports due to its sheltered environment and relative calm.
Close to the Crozon-Morgat nautical center, it is well-suited for beginners who want to learn kitesurfing away from more exposed spots like La Palue or Goulien. Locals appreciate it for its easy access and lack of strong currents.
Surrounded by the Crozon peninsula, the beach attracts bathers and sailors, but kitesurfing remains discreet outside the summer season.

The Morgat beach faces the Douarnenez bay, making it ideal for south to southwest winds in side-shore or side-on, providing a smooth water surface protected by the surrounding reliefs. The launch area is directly from the wide sandy beach, easy to access, with a take-off zone on the dry sand near the nautical center.
The water surface varies little with the tides: it remains flat to light chop permanently thanks to the sheltered cove, perfect for freestyle or freeride. The navigation area extends several hundred meters offshore, without major obstacles, but one must remain vigilant of bathers in summer.
In southeast winds, the spot gains power and becomes side-off, while west winds are diminished. Schools like the CNCM use this spot for lessons year-round, except in high season when attendance increases. For advanced sessions, one can aim for the more open areas towards the nearby Aber.
