About the spot

Palm Beach is the specifically regulated kite access at the tip of the Croisette. Easterly to northeasterly conditions are described for the spot. Rocks, shoreline structures and limited launching space make this a demanding location requiring substantial experience.

The corridor is the designated launch and return route on the Cannes shoreline. The remaining 300-metre zone and prohibited parts of the bay and Lérins Islands are not unrestricted kite water. Check wind limits and current decree amendments locally. Beginners should choose another supervised location.
