Kitesurf

Biville is a kitesurf spot on the west coast of the Cotentin peninsula (Manche), near Barneville-Carteret. This west-facing beach on the Channel is exposed to South, South-South-West and South-West winds — the onshore sea breeze that blows regularly along the Cotentin west coast in summer.

Tidal spot with a wide sandy beach at low tide. The Cotentin west coast is known for strong and reliable winds. A good spot for summer sessions with consistent onshore SW conditions.
