Overview

Kitesurf

Sciotot is a kitesurf spot on the west coast of the Cotentin peninsula (Manche), just south of Barneville-Carteret. Very close to the Biville spot, this west-facing beach catches the onshore South, South-South-West and South-West sea breeze that blows reliably along the Cotentin west coast in summer.

Tidal spot with a wide sandy beach at low tide. The Cotentin west coast offers consistent Atlantic-influenced winds. A good wild and natural spot on this scenic stretch of Normandy coast.
