Festival of the Sea and Coastlines

Celebrating Rivedoux's Maritime Heritage

The Festival of the Sea and Coastlines highlights the rich maritime heritage of Rivedoux-Plage, a former small fishing port that has become the first oyster-farming area on the Île de Ré. This festive day allows visitors to discover local maritime traditions and the riches of the coastline in a friendly and family atmosphere.

Discovering Water Sports

The event offers introductory kitesurfing workshops open to everyone on the beach, allowing young and old to try this spectacular water sport. These free introductory sessions offer a unique opportunity to experience the thrill of gliding on the water in a safe environment supervised by professionals.

Activities and Camaraderie

Throughout the day, the port comes alive with an artisan market showcasing local creations, beach games for children, and an evening concert. The Amicale des anciens cols bleus de l'île de Ré also offers friendly catering. This free and accessible festival is an opportunity to share a festive family moment around the island's maritime traditions.
