Gokova Bay with its 6 months continuous wind and open space - 3 km of shallow sandy beach - is naturally very suitable for kiteboarding and has become one of the most attractive locations for beginners as well as having made a memorable impression on professional kiteboarder.
The beach is 3 kilometre long and doesn’t have any rocks, buildings, power lines or any other obstacles which might be dangerous for kiteboarding.
The wind in Gokova Bay starts in May when the weather temperature gets warmer and continues its rate until November. There is almost no windless day during this 6 months period of the year.
The wind starts as a calm sea-breeze at around 9 a.m. and increases up to 18-20 knot with the influx of air temperature.
The sea is shallow for 150 metre and the bottom is purely sand. For the first 50 metre the water is completely free of waves and calm.
