Overview

Kitesurf

Vardiola is a kitesurf spot in the Gulf of Santa Manza, near Porto-Vecchio (Corse-du-Sud) in the far south of Corsica. This sheltered bay is well oriented for South-East to South winds — the sea breeze that builds strongly in the afternoon during summer.

Crystal-clear water in a magnificent setting typical of southern Corsica. The nearby Cavallo and Lavezzi island chains partially shelter the bay. A beautiful spot for summer sessions with reliable thermal winds.
