Overview

Edit

Works on N, NE Winds walk west down beach towards ferries for sandy area to launch from if tide is up.

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!
