Plage de la Basse Benaie Kitesurf Forecast

Plage de la Basse Benaie scores 76/100 for kitesurf today at its best ability level (intermediate). The beach faces SW. A wild, unsupervised cove beach on an exposed south-facing Atlantic coast, 400m across several small bays, with a mixed pebble-and-sand bottom and rocks exposed at low tide. Swimming only works near high tide; low tide suits fishing and beachcombing, not bathing. Listed as a surf spot and kite zone, though the rocky bottom limits entry. Dogs are banned April-September; there's no lifeguard cover, and the nearest rescue station is at Saint-Martin-de-Ré.
