Overview

Tahiti Plage is a kitesurf spot on the west coast of Corsica, south of Ajaccio near Porticcio (Corse-du-Sud). This popular beach in the Gulf of Ajaccio is well oriented for the Libeccio (SW-W wind) — the dominant summer wind on the west coast — blowing strongly across the gulf in the afternoon.

Turquoise water and fine sand in a scenic gulf setting. The Libeccio can be strong and gusty, especially in the afternoon. Good infrastructure with nearby facilities in Porticcio. Suitable for intermediate riders.
