Spot de La Mine / Etang de Leucate

La Mine / Etang de Leucate

La Mine / Etang de Leucate

Overview

La Mine — Étang de Leucate — between Le Goulet and Parc à Huîtres, Leucate Village. Wild, quieter continuation of Le Goulet. Windsurf, wingfoil and SUP spot — kite prohibited.

Shallow for 150 m from shore — ideal for learning waterstart by Tramontane (wind pushes you back). Beyond: formed chop for jumping from 5-6 Beaufort. Accessible to all levels thanks to shallow water near shore.

Wilder, less crowded than Le Goulet. Beautiful natural setting on the étang.
