Beauvallon La Tour

Beauvallon La Tour is a sheltered bay on the French Mediterranean coast, located in the Côte d'Azur region. The spot faces southeast into the Mediterranean, with a protected bay configuration that reduces fetch distance and wave development. The shallow, clear turquoise water indicates sandy/rocky bottom with submerged formations. The bay's enclosed nature creates mild conditions suitable for beginner riders. Best wind conditions arrive from the northeast (45°), providing side-shore flow parallel to the beach. The low wind reliability (10.5%) and minimal wave height (0.60m average) indicate this is primarily a light-wind spot dependent on consistent Mediterranean breezes. Residential development immediately inland suggests weekend crowds and potential boat activity. The shallow bay structure and rocky hazards require rider awareness of water depth and underwater features. Water temperature around 18°C warrants consideration of wetsuits. This spot suits beginners and light-wind specialists seeking protected conditions rather than those pursuing wave riding or strong-wind progression.
