Overview

Kitesurf

Kairon Plage is a kitesurf spot on the west coast of the Cotentin peninsula (Manche), near Saint-Pair-sur-Mer between Granville and Jullouville. This west-facing sandy beach catches the dominant Atlantic winds from South-West to West and North-West that blow consistently along this exposed coast.

Tidal spot with a wide sandy beach at low tide. The Cotentin west coast offers strong and reliable Atlantic-influenced winds. A pleasant local spot with dune scenery in a quieter section of this coast.
