Overview

Kitesurf

Les Petites Dalles is a kitesurf spot on the Côte d'Albâtre (Seine-Maritime), in a small valley (valleuse) between Fécamp and Saint-Valery-en-Caux. This tiny natural harbour beach is sheltered by chalk cliffs on three sides, catching North, West and North-North-West winds.

Tidal spot with a pebble beach and limited space — access via a narrow valley. The cliff scenery is dramatic. A charming but limited spot; space becomes very restricted at high tide. Best in moderate NW or W conditions.
