Overview

Saleccia is a kitesurf spot on the legendary Saleccia beach in the Agriates desert (Haute-Corse), widely considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Corsica and all of France. Accessible only by boat from Saint-Florent or on foot via a long trail, the beach offers a completely wild setting with turquoise water and white sand.

The spot catches both the Tramontane/Maestral (NE) and the Libeccio (SW), depending on the beach orientation. No facilities on site. A bucket-list kitesurf destination for those willing to make the journey.
