Kitesurfing at Le Grand Crohot

Le Grand Crohot, on the wild ocean side of the Cap Ferret peninsula, is a beautiful dune-backed beach exposed to the full Atlantic. It delivers powerful beach-break waves in westerly winds and is best suited to experienced riders comfortable in surf and strong currents. The unspoilt setting and quality of the waves make it a favourite of the Arcachon locals.

Best wind directions: W, NW, SW
