Spot added: 04.05.2009: 10:14 AM / Hits: 1241

Description

The beach is fine sand with few shells and broken up coral, and almost no tourists, the only other people are your fellow kiters. At times there can be build up of natural debris on the beach, generally after a tropical rain. Some areas also have build up of coral, so booties are recommended for the intermediate kiter. Students are taught away from the coral. The beach will be cleaned each morning through the season.
