Spot de Poubelles beach

Poubelles beach

Poubelles beach

Overview

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.
