One of the best spots for beginners in Kent. The water is shallow for some way out at low tide. Please be aware of the windsurfers, there has been an active club here since the 80's try and give them plenty of room. Minnis is best sailed at mid to low tide, there is no beach at high tide. The tide goes out a long way which leaves a massive sandy beach to practice on. The beach gets busy in the summer so watch out for the public. Winds from NW to NE are ideal. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
