Overview

Edit

Parking is free now (2023). Coffee machine and fast food trailers near the parking. Lifeguards facility, shower and dressing cabins are working in summer season. Wooden road till the water. The beach is approximately 30m wide (till the water). Active zone/kiting zone starts in 50m to the west (marked with sign). In 20m from the beach, water is 2m deep and became deeper further. Beware of nets is in 500 meters to the west. Conditions are always choppy. Many shallows in the water.
Beach has official status.

It is your responsibility to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
