About Espace Marin
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. We don't know which way the shore faces here, so we can't warn of offshore wind: kite and windsurf aren't scored.
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it. For sailing at expert level the best months are usually June, July, August and September, with about 6 good days in 7; in February, March and November, about 4. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Grand Baie.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
Rough cost (estimate): about US$1,340–US$2,660 each
about US$1,340–US$2,660 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food.
