Overview

Kitesurf

Île de Ré - Rivedoux-Plage is a kitesurf spot at the eastern tip of the Île de Ré (Charente-Maritime), just across the bridge from La Rochelle. This exposed point catches winds from a wide arc: North, North-North-East, North-East, South, South-South-West and South-West — making it one of the most wind-versatile spots on the island.

Ocean spot. The passage between the Île de Ré and the mainland (Pertuis Breton) has significant tidal currents — stay well aware of navigation rules and boat traffic from the nearby ferry port. A convenient spot for La Rochelle area riders thanks to the direct bridge access.
