Overview

Solenzara is a kitesurf spot on the south-east coast of Corsica, where the coast transitions from the long east coast plain toward the Bavella massif (Corse-du-Sud). Located near the Solenzara air base, the spot has a unique wind exposure: the coastline curves here, allowing winds from a very wide arc of North-East through East to South-South-East.

Crystal-clear water in a stunning mountain-meets-sea setting. One of the most scenic kitesurf spots on the island. Check for any flight activity restrictions near the military air base.
