Works very good with Northeast winds. Very good winds normally. Thermal winds in summer from SW, which are a bit gustier. Launch from the west end of the bay to get cleaner wind. Best wind during late spring and during summer.

 How to get there
Transport:
- Car
Access:
- Short Walk


Take the road from Bonifacio to Porto Vecchio. Half way, where the road is straight over a long distance you have to take a sandy road to the right (very bad road, 2km). There is a shield to point to the beach and a beach restaurant. It's in the Golfo de Santa Manza, at the West side of the Golf. Drive all the way up to the point where most surfers are.

Edit
 Rules, Restrictions and Extra Info
Rules:
- None


In addition to the beach at the end of the bay, there's also several small beaches on the south-east side of the bay. Less room to launch but more wind.

 Comments
04-07-14 Xray: Works very good with North East winds. Choppy swell but very good winds normally. Drive all the way up to the point where most surfers (kite and wind) are. Be kind to the locals and they will tell you where the good places are.
