Overview

  • Kitesurf
  • Wingfoil
  • Windsurf
Pembroke is a kitesurfing spot located on the northeast coast of Guernsey, in the parish of Vale. This long sandy beach is one of the most beautiful on the island. The spot is well exposed to northeast and east winds. Conditions are suitable for intermediate riders with a gradually deepening sandy bottom. The significant tides of the Channel Islands create a vast playground at low tide. Good parking and easy access.
