Overview

This is a grass beach bordered to the northeast by tall trees and to the northwest by the sailing club parking lot. Given that this is a real public beach and the site remains open during the summer season, practitioners are asked to exercise the greatest caution and respect towards other users. Outside the summer season, the launch point is free: it is possible to start exactly from the grassy preparation area. However, in July and August, after setting up the kite, riders must walk around the basin to start further upwind from the end of the breakwater. The fact that the site remains open in summer, despite the potential presence of numerous tourists, is a very strong sign of trust from the public authorities.
We ask practitioners for THE GREATEST RIGOR regarding their behavior, particularly in the presence of other users.
