About the spot

Agon-Coutainville has an established kite teaching area by the nautical centre on the western Manche coast. Suitable conditions support lessons and independent freeriding. The substantial tidal range changes beach width, depth and the walk to the water.

This entry identifies the club beach, not automatically Pointe d’Agon or the neighbouring estuary, where currents and protected areas differ. First-time visitors should confirm the active launch. Beginners need lessons, and the school requires suitable liability cover for its courses.
