Overview

Kitesurf

Havre de Blainville is a kitesurf spot on the west coast of the Cotentin peninsula (Manche), near Blainville-sur-Mer between Coutainville and Pirou. This tidal inlet opens to the sea, revealing vast flat sandy areas at low tide. The dominant winds are South-West to West and North-West, blowing directly onshore.

Tidal spot — the havre fills and empties significantly with each tide. The vast flat sandy areas at low tide provide excellent riding space. A calm and natural spot typical of the tidal inlets on the Cotentin west coast.
