About the spot

Asnelles lies on Calvados's north-facing coast in the Gold Beach area. Its sandy beach is documented as a kite spot for independent riders. North and northwest bring sea winds, with small to medium waves depending on strength and tide.

Tides alter usable space and clearance from beach access points. Keep separate from summer swimming and other watersports zones. Do not assume this historic coastline is free of obstacles: inspect the ground, exit route and a clear return area before rigging.
