Overview

Le Touquet-Paris-Plage is a kitesurf spot on the Côte d'Opale (Pas-de-Calais), one of the most famous beach resorts in northern France. The vast sandy beach stretches for kilometres and is well oriented for the dominant South-South-West to North-West winds of the Channel.

Large tidal range — the beach extends enormously at low tide, offering plenty of space. Le Touquet is a busy resort — respect zones reserved for swimmers and other beach users. Good infrastructure with parking, services and nearby kite schools.
