Plage de Saint-Felix
France · Guadeloupe
Saint-Félix beach, located in Gosier, Guadeloupe, is a popular starting point for kitesurfing schools. There is a lively small fishing port with its pelicans and an authentic local atmosphere. It's a convenient spot to access the nearby sailing areas, particularly towards Salines.
Riders appreciate the proximity of the spot and the easy access by car from Gosier marina. The tropical setting with warm water and consistent wind makes it an ideal place to progress.

The Saint-Félix spot mainly serves as a base for boat trips to areas like Salines or Bois Jolan. With East wind, dominant year-round, it provides perfect side-shore conditions on the southern spots, with a flat to chop water surface inside the reef. Launching is done from the sandy beach, but it is small and surrounded by trees, so take-off requires technique to avoid wind shadow.
By boat, you can quickly reach areas where you can stand for a long time in shallow water, up to 50 cm in some places. Be careful to navigate inside the reef for freeride or foil, as there are small waves outside. In Northeast wind, the wind can become irregular near the coast, better to move offshore. Schools like Just'in Kite provide equipment on-site and take you by boat for 2h30 sessions.
