Cap Malheureux

So named by the French because of the English disembarkment there, and subsequent takeover of the island, has several access points to good riding areas.
The public beach at Cap Malheureux is situated right by the Chapel. This is a touristic landmark, with its view on the northern islands, but does not have a very good entry point for kiters. However you will find, 100 meters to the left when looking out to sea, after the rocky point, a perfect long white sand beach (foto) with good wind for launching on east and northeasterly days.
Another good access used by the locals is situated on a “private” beach. For this launch you will have to speak to the guys from Sindbad kite school situated right on this spot.
Riding conditions here are usually best in southeast, east and northeasterly conditions, although very rare northwesterly winds have been good as well.
Be sure to ask the locals about the best areas and “test” your way out carefully, as there are many coral reefs that surround the coast here.
Two or three different wave spots will delight those that are that way inclined, but beware of the tidal levels, most reefs are not passable at low or medium tides.
