DUNKIRK :
THE SEA, THE BEACH,
AND SAND YACHTS …

 

Sand yachting is an outdoor activity that can be practiced all year round on the beach in Dunkirk. It’s an environmentally friendly sport.

And it’s an activity that will give you an adrenaline rush and boost your well-being while you have wonderful times with family and friends.

Still not convinced? Then take a look at the video testimonial of Jean-Michel Szlezak, one of our sand yachting instructors.

It was a great session. The explanations were clear, the instructor was pleasant, and we enjoyed excellent weather conditions.
We did a course/slalom between cones. It would have been nice to be able to ride along the seafront, but perhaps the size of the beach did not allow it.
