Overview

Larmor-Plage is a kitesurf spot on the main beach of Larmor-Plage (Morbihan, Brittany), a popular seaside town just south of Lorient. The south-facing beach is well oriented for South and South-South-West winds blowing onshore.

Urban beach with good infrastructure and services nearby. Tide-dependent. Close to the Kerguelen sailing school beach — respect all beach users during busy summer periods.
