France · Bretagne

Spot currently openIntermediate levelAltitude 4 m 47.9 | -3.97

Overview

Plage de Kerleven is a kitesurf spot at La Forêt-Fouesnant (Finistère, Brittany), on the sheltered bay of La Forêt. The beach faces south-east across the bay, making it suitable for North to North-West winds which blow offshore — experienced riders only — and for South-East to South winds which are onshore.

More sheltered than exposed Atlantic beaches, offering flatter water. Tide-dependent. Close to the popular sailing port of La Forêt-Fouesnant.
