Overview

Courseulles-sur-Mer is a kitesurf spot on the Côte de Nacre (Calvados), at the mouth of the Seulles river — the historic Juno Beach D-Day landing site. The north-facing beach catches North-East and North-West onshore winds.

Tidal spot. The Courseulles harbour has boat traffic — stay clear of the port entrance and navigation channel. Wide sandy beach at low tide with good space. A historically significant spot on the D-Day landing coastline.
