Roya / Corsica kitesurf spot
France · Corse
Overview
Roya is a kitesurf spot on the Roya beach in the Gulf of Saint-Florent (Haute-Corse), the main kitesurf beach of the Saint-Florent area. The beach faces south-east within the gulf, making it ideal for the south-east sea breeze that builds in the afternoon — creating flat water conditions perfect for all levels.
Sandy beach with good access and parking. The gulf is sheltered from ocean swell, offering smooth water. Popular with local kitesurfers and schools. A top spot on the north Corsica circuit.
