This area has it all! It's like a Kite Park in our backyard. Everything from butter to breakers. This area off East Beach has lots of sandbars and an inlet runs through it. Outgoing tide gives you tidal ponds and long buttery speed strips. Incoming tide gives you rollers, breakers and bump and jump conditions. Beautiful white powdery sand to hard pack sand. No sharp shells or other objects. You can park at the old Coast Guard Station parking area and walk a few hundred yards North on the beach to this area. All wind directions are flyable. It blows here from the North, Northeast 10-25 mph in winter. South, Southeast and Southwest 10-25 mph in summer. All directions can be good. Late afternoon thermals in summer can let you fly most days. Water temp. runs from the 50's°F in the winter to the 80's°F in summer. Usually the most anybody wears is a spring suit. It's flyable year-round. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Smallwave. Features: Shop, Rescue, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
