In the vicinity of our kitesurfing spot, there are many activities.
Walk on the coastal path
This trail is sometimes quite sporty with beautiful views, the place has remained wild and protected. The path goes around the peninsula passing through the forest and along the cliffs. It is a pleasure to stop in a small cove for a swim.
Cycling on the salt road
Accessible on foot, but ideally by hiring a bicycle or why not a rosalie, the road runs along the beautiful beach on one side
of Almanarre and, on the other, the old salt pans, exploited until 1995. On the promontories provided for this purpose, you can observe around 250 different species of birds: pink flamingos, white stilts, grey herons, little egrets, ospreys, etc.
To find out more, guides from the Ligue de Protection des Oiseaux (League for the Protection of Birds) offer nature walks to discover the fauna and flora of this exceptional site.
