Le Lavandou
The beach of Lavandou, located in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, is a beautiful stretch of sand at the foot of the Maures massif. It is a popular spot for kitesurfing thanks to its turquoise water and regular thermal wind.
Kiting is done on the sidewalk of the seafront boulevard, with a direct launch from the downtown beach. Locals mainly practice on east wind days, in a friendly atmosphere.
Close to spots like Cavalière or Saint-Clair, it is an accessible place for riders looking for varied sessions all year round.
