Plage de Gouville-sur-Mer
France · Normandie
The beach of Gouville-sur-Mer, located on the Normandy coast in front of the campsite, is a popular spot for kiters due to its open space and easy access. It is an ideal place for beginners thanks to its shallow waters and friendly atmosphere fostered by the Pôle Kitesurf Normandie.
Close to Agon-Coutainville, it offers a beautiful stretch of fine sand bordered by dunes, perfect for launching and calm sessions. Locals often come here to progress in an authentic setting without too much crowd.
Monitored in season, the beach has a large free parking lot and a first aid station, making it convenient for all levels.

The beach of Gouville-sur-Mer is oriented west, which favors side-on or side-shore winds from the NW or W, the most effective for riding without risking drifting too far. Launching is done directly from the fine sand in front of the campsite, with a wide and clear take-off area, ideal for beginners who need space to practice.
The water state varies greatly with the tides: at low tide, the sea recedes very far on a gentle slope, creating a vast but shallow space where you can stand for several hundred meters, perfect for initiation and kitefoiling. At high tide, the water rises and the spot becomes more dynamic with a more consistent water state for jumps and speed.
The navigation area extends about 1 km wide, but you must remain vigilant about the limits to avoid monitored swimming areas in summer. Sessions are optimal with winds of 15-25 knots, and the nomadic school of the Pôle Kitesurf adapts the spots according to the day's conditions, such as the nearby beach of Agon-Coutainville if needed. A maximum of 10 people is recommended to avoid overcrowding.
