Overview

Argentela is a kitesurf spot on the west coast of Corsica, in the Gulf of Galéria (Haute-Corse). This isolated beach in the Balagne region is sheltered by the mountains but catches the Libeccio (SW wind) that blows regularly along the west coast.

Wild and unspoiled setting far from tourist crowds. The Libeccio brings strong south-westerly winds, especially in summer afternoons. A beautiful but remote spot — check access conditions beforehand.
