Quiet and beautiful spot in France

Wavy spot in France

Kherilio Beach, located in Erdeven on the southern coast of Brittany, France, is a well-regarded kitesurfing destination thanks to its wide sandy stretch and consistent Atlantic winds. The water here is mostly wave-based, with moderate to strong surf depending on swell and tide. The waves break cleanly over sand, making it ideal for wave riders and intermediate to advanced kiters. The beach offers plenty of space for launching and landing, even during peak seasons.
