Overview

Île Grande West is a kitesurf spot on the western shore of Île Grande (Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany), on the Côte de Granit Rose near Trébeurden. This face works best with North to North-West and North-North-West winds blowing from the open sea.

Pink granite landscape all around. Tide-dependent — check times before heading out. Good complement to Goas Treiz which is just nearby for south-westerly winds.
