We found a place next to the well known town of Jericoacoara, only 10 km south. side on shore winds, a wide open empty beach and tropical warm water all year round. One of the most reliable windy places for 8 month a year. Miles and miles of sandy beach. No rocks or obstructions. Waves, choppy water and flat water. Simply ideal for Kitesurfing!
