Greatstone Beach, Kent
active 6 years, 1 month agoGreatstone beach near New Romney in Kent offers a huge beach with a well established kitesurfing scene. The beach is shallow in shore, which means at low tide you’re looking at a long walk to reach the water (around 1/2 a mile).
It offers large area for kitesurfing, featuring small chop and flat-water riding near the shore, and on a rising / falling tide. The swell is strongest at high tide.
Greatstone Beach works on NNE around to SE.
The beach is suitable for beginners because of its shallow nature. A good spot to launch is opposite the Romney Tavern, but getting parked can be tricky (see getting there and parking below).
