Overview

Kitesurf

Plage des Sables Blancs is a kitesurf spot near Loctudy (Finistère, Brittany), on the south Finistère coast between Pont-l'Abbé and Guilvinec. The white sand beach faces south-west, well oriented for North-West to West winds and also for northerly winds.

Relatively sheltered from the biggest Atlantic swells by the offshore islands (Glénan archipelago). Pleasant spot with flat to choppy water. Tide-dependent.
