Overview

Kitesurf

Equihen-Plage is a kitesurf spot on the Côte d'Opale (Pas-de-Calais), between Boulogne-sur-Mer and Hardelot. This beach below the distinctive clifftop village has an interesting orientation that favours North-East, South-South-East, South, South-South-West and South-West winds — less common for this coast but offering good onshore conditions.

Tidal spot with a sandy beach. The cliff backdrop makes for a distinctive setting. A local favourite offering different wind angles compared to neighbouring spots.
