Overview

  • Kitesurf
  • Wingfoil
  • Windsurf

Bel Royal is a kitesurfing spot located on the south coast of Jersey, facing St Aubin's Bay. This spot offers a sheltered body of water with ideal conditions for beginners and intermediate riders. At low tide, a vast sandy foreshore is exposed thanks to Jersey's exceptional tidal range. The spot works mainly with south and southwest winds. The bay offers some protection against Atlantic swell.
