It's a superb and very long (about 3km) beach of soft sand. However, the beach is really narrow so be careful, since there is a road next to it. That's why the spot isn't a good place to learn kiteboarding.

The more running wind is a strong and a little bit gusty wind 'Mistral'. You also can kitesurf with an East wind: then the water is perfectly flat but the wind is offshore! If you want waves with an East wind just go to the other site of the narrow peninsula to the Bergerie Beach. There you can ride for kilometers up to Hyeres without taking any risk (onshore wind).
