Overview

Kitesurf

Berck-Plage is a kitesurf spot on the Côte d'Opale (Pas-de-Calais), known for its vast flat beach and consistent Atlantic winds. The wide sandy beach is one of the longest in northern France and also a famous venue for land yachting and kite buggying.

Dominant winds from North, South-West, West and North-West. Large tidal range exposes an enormous flat beach at low tide — ideal for kitesurfing with plenty of space. Be aware of other beach activities and shared use zones.
