La Cabane kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
France · Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
Overview
La Cabane — small beach 500 m west of Carro, on the Côte Bleue (municipality of Martigues). Alternative to Carro when the Mistral blows from pure north (offshore at Carro, side-on here). Less well-known than its neighbor Carro but appreciated by locals. More sheltered body of water than Carro, less technical waves.

Technical details of La Cabane spot
The spot works with winds from N, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW.
Spot functioning
Access: from Carro (Martigues), 500 m westward along the coast. Same road access as Carro (Côte Bleue, Martigues). With pure N Mistral: when Carro is offshore and waves flattened, La Cabane receives side-on wind — ideal alternative. With NW: also works, cross-onshore. With S/SE: prefer Carro which catches the swell better.
