La pointe de Messery kitesurf spot

France · Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

46.35 | 6.28

Overview

Small beach with a launch area. Allows you to unload your gear before parking on the free parking lot a bit further on the Vetrau path. Major historical spot for local windsurfers, but for kitesurfing, it requires precision to launch/land the kite. Also excellent for wingfoil.
