Poubelles Beach is a kitesurfing spot on the northeast coast of the Sitia peninsula in eastern Crete, not far from Tenda Bay and Kouremenos. The unflattering name doesn't reflect the wild beauty of this isolated beach facing northeast.
The Meltemi arrives channeled from NW/N, offering side-onshore to onshore conditions. A wild and uncrowded spot, ideal for riders seeking solitude and limitless sailing space.
Wild spot with no infrastructure. No school or rental. Launching from pebble beach. For experienced and autonomous riders only.
Works from June to September. Large sailing area towards open water.
Open all year round
Intermediate
Choppy water with waves formed by the Meltemi. Rocky and sandy bottom. Crystal clear water. Bump & jump conditions in sustained wind.
Access via dirt track. Wild parking. Road in poor condition – off-road vehicle recommended. No facilities on site.
Meltemi arrives from NW/NNW, similar to Tenda Bay. Wind is side-onshore to onshore on this northeast coast, typically 18-28 knots in summer. Windier and more exposed conditions than Kouremenos.
Consistent wind from June to September. Gusts possible due to the peninsula's terrain. Thermal reinforcement in early afternoon adds 3-5 extra knots.
Isolated spot – never sail alone. Submerged rocks. Coastal current possible in strong wind. Difficult access in emergencies. No water or supplies on site.
