Plage de la Pointe Faula
France · Martinique
The Pointe Faula beach, located in the southeast of Vauclin in Martinique, offers a turquoise lagoon protected by a coral reef. It is a popular spot for kiters due to its vast water area and friendly atmosphere near the fishing village.
The beach stretches for nearly 400 meters of white sand lined with coconut trees, with easy access from the main road and dedicated parking. Kitesurfing schools like the Club Nautique du Vauclin or Airfly are located right on site, making the spot ideal for progression.
Surrounded by mangroves and with a view of the bay, it is an authentic place where locals and visitors share sessions in a relaxed manner.

The Pointe Faula spot is oriented southeast, perfect for the trade winds blowing in side-on from the east and southeast, providing consistent and predictable power. The navigation area is vast, between the coral reef offshore and the mangrove on the inside, with a shallow area extending several hundred meters allowing navigation far from the shore without risk.
Launching is done on an easily accessible sandy beach, but the launch area is a bit restricted near the swimming area, so you need to position yourself slightly away to inflate and launch safely. Once launched, you find a flat water surface perfect for freeride, freestyle, or learning, with isolated sandbanks for gentle jumps.
Tides have little influence on the spot due to the constant shallow depth, but at low tide, some areas become even flatter and walkable. Beginners stay on the central shallow area dedicated to schools, while experienced riders explore the outer areas towards the reef. Be cautious of other users like windsurfers or kayaks, the spot is shared and lively.
