Overview

Riva Bella is a kitesurf spot on the east coast of Corsica, in the southern Oriental Plain (Haute-Corse), near Aléria. The beach is part of the famous east coast kitesurf corridor, driven by two reliable winds: the Tramontane/Maestral (NE) blowing from the mountains in the morning, and the sea breeze (SE) building in the afternoon.

The Aléria area is one of the windiest sections of the east coast. Flat water and sandy beach — accessible spot suitable for various levels.
