Cobo is a kitesurfing spot located on the west coast of Guernsey, just north of Vazon Bay. This sandy beach offers good conditions for kitesurfing in west and northwest winds. The spot is accessible to intermediate riders. The significant tides of the Channel Islands create a vast playground at low tide. The beach has nearby facilities with cafés and parking.
