Île d’Oleron
The Huttes beach, located in the northwest of the Île d'Oléron in Charente-Maritime, is a long stretch of sand 5 kilometers lined with wild dunes. Directly exposed to the Atlantic Ocean, it is continuously swept by the wind and known for its consistent conditions. It is a spot highly appreciated by riders of all levels, with a kitesurfing zone during the summer season.
The beach sees a high attendance in summer, with the presence of kitesurfing schools, surfers, and other sliding sports practitioners. The atmosphere remains relaxed and friendly, typical of well-established French coastal spots. It is a place where weather conditions are predictable and where finding rental equipment or lessons is not a problem.
