Surrounded by green hills and majestic cliffs, this picturesque bay offers a spectacular contrast between the bright hues of the ocean and the lush green of the surrounding nature.

Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your skills, What The Foil offers an unforgettable experience that combines adventure, fun and discovery.

You'll meet the What The Foil team at the Fort de Socoa, an emblematic site steeped in history and offering a breathtaking view over the bay.

Experienced instructors will be on hand to guide you and give you invaluable advice on how to master this discipline. Depending on your level and progress, you'll also have the opportunity to take on the waves of the bay, adding a dose of adrenalin to your adventure.
