Great Place
on 4 December 2010 - 1:45am
Great place with regular wind, a bit crowded but the beach is big so there is enough for all
Both part are great with different type of access and proximity to car parks
People at the kiteschool are very passionate, and are always here to help
Onetime they even share one of their 7 sqm kite (because my 10sqm was too big)
It can be cold in winter but not as cold as north of france
A lot of things to do in the backcountry esp with kids
Enjoy!
