About the spot

Jullouville and neighbouring Kairon-Plage form a tidal teaching and freeride area south of Granville. The local school changes meeting points with the tidal coefficient: smaller tides leave too little usable space at Jullouville, so Kairon is used instead.

Westerly winds reach these sandy beaches from the sea. Shallow entry and extensive sand can help lessons but still require checks of depth and surf. The pin is at Kairon; the actual teaching location can vary. Keep roads, ramps and access routes clear.
