The kite spot of La Feuillère is located near Capesterre, in the South-East of Marie Galante. It is one of the most beautiful beaches of the island
The spot looks like a beautiful lagoon with turquoise waters, where the wind comes in sideshore.

Historical
The name comes from the marine term Cab-Est-Terre, the land located to the east or windward. Contrary to its neighbors who cultivate sugar cane, Capesterre rather cultivates cotton and indigo. However, the commune suffered from the closure of the sugar factories between 1880 and 1946.
The re-establishment of a distillery in Capesterre has revived the cultivation of sugar cane. With the development of tourism, this commune has been revived. The inhabitants are called Capesterriens.
