WATER SPORTS oR FARNIENT, ALMANARRE BEACH
Located only a few steps away, the beach of Almanarre attracts windsurfers and kite surfers of high level, coming from all over the world. Perhaps this is your chance to try these water sports? Depending on the strength of the wind, the sea can be agitated and present a superb wild character.
But with an East wind, this beach is protected and the calm that reigns lets you discover the colors of a water that makes you dream. The sand is white and the low water level allows the youngest to enjoy swimming in complete safety in the supervised areas provided for this purpose.
Don't miss the sunset, an unforgettable moment!
