Marignane

The Jaï beach in Marignane, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, is a kitesurfing spot on the vast Berre pond. Located 30 minutes west of Marseille, it offers a natural space amidst an urban environment, with a sandy beach and lawn stretching 600 meters.

A dedicated kitesurfing area is marked near the Garances parking lot, close to ruins and a stone wall. It is a popular place for its consistent wind, dominated by the Mistral, and its facilities such as kite schools and a nautical base.

Certified Blue Flag since 2016, the beach is monitored in summer and also offers activities like beach volleyball or a free fitness area.
