As you may have already guessed, active types of entertainment on the water in Deauville are also not welcome. A solid resort for respectable people has no such infrastructure. The hotels Royal and Normandy have a water center Centre nautique de Deauville, which offers such services as windsurfing, wakeboarding, landsailing, catamaran and kayaking.
Water-skiing enthusiasts are advised to go from Deauville to the nearby beaches of Lower Normandy. Thus, about a hundred meters from Deauville (if you move towards Trouville) there is a spot station for wakesurf, which will suit both beginners and experienced wave conquerors. You can ride here in any wind (except southerly). Watch the weather forecast and catch a wave! The center of sailing and parasailing in Lower Normandy is Cabourg, neighboring with Deauville.
