La Grande Plage
France · Pays de la Loire
What riders say
The practice of kitesurfing is officially prohibited on the entire Grande Plage, except for specific exemptions, which must be respected.
The beach is very crowded in summer with large monitored swimming areas, making any kite launch particularly dangerous.
The shorebreak can be powerful at high tide with strong swell, posing a risk of violent falls near the shore.

The Grande Plage of Sables-d’Olonne stretches in a semicircle facing the ocean, bordered by the promenade and the beachfront buildings. It is a large urban beach that is very busy, with a lively seaside resort atmosphere.
It is mainly known for swimming and surfing, but riders sometimes come to check the wind and wave conditions on this section of coast before heading to beaches more suitable for kitesurfing a little further north or south.
