Overview

Kitesurf

Bex d'Andaine is a kitesurf spot on the southern shore of the Baie du Mont-Saint-Michel (Manche), near Genêts. This vast tidal bay offers exceptional wind conditions from South-West, West and North-West — the dominant Atlantic winds that sweep across the wide open bay.

Extraordinary tidal range — one of the highest in Europe. The bay nearly empties at low tide revealing enormous flat sand flats. Check tide times very carefully as the tidal bore can be dangerous. Guided walks to Mont-Saint-Michel depart from nearby Genêts. A spectacular natural setting.
