Clear water, light blue. Sometimes a little dirty. Lagoon spot protected by a reef in upwind direction. Spot excellent for beginners, since it is possible to stand everywhere. Few small reef waves out the back and if you kite up-wind (N, NE) very uncrowded even in high season with a nice, small wave. No problem if something breaks as side onshore winds bring you back to the beach. Nice landscaped beach, sometimes a little dirty due to onshore conditions! Rocks at the reef and on the right side, lots of space to launch next to the beach cafe on the grass. Season starts around mid-late November and ends in March/April. The wind blows not very consistent, but it's a really nice spot. When it does blow (10-12m) it's really good fun. In summer lycra shirt and shorts is enough. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Rooms, Shop, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
