The beach is almost 2 km long without "shore break" waves, so there is more space. There's a Hotel 250 mts. away from the kitebeach. There are no people or boats around you to worry about. The water is fairly flat, choppy only with more then 20 knots. The wind is completely Side Shore which is very friendly and safe for kite surfers. There are trees behind the beach to relax in the shadow. Very consistent spot.
