Overview

Kaïron Plage is the fallback spot for Jullouville during small tidal coefficients (below 55). Located just north of Jullouville, near Granville, it offers a large water surface with a panoramic view of the Chausey Islands.

At small tides, the sea doesn't retreat enough at Jullouville, and Kaïron Plage then provides the open space needed for safe kitesurf practice. The same flat, shallow water conditions, equally reassuring for beginners. Fifty Kite school uses this spot for its initiation lessons in those conditions.
