Kite Spot Camber Sands - United Kingdom

Spot added: 09.04.2008: 09:20 AM / Hits: 726

Description

Clean golden sands. Here you will find the only sand dunes in Southeast England. On low tide the beach is very wide, so you have to walk for about 200m to the water line. Plenty of launch space, plenty of room for buggies, very busy in summer, so advisory to go to the far ends away from the car park and people. The beach itself is huge, there is plenty of space.

At the top of the beach there is about 30m of soft sand to rig gear up, before a small belt of rounded stones, then more compacted sand which gradually gets damper until you reach the sea. There are also many paths over the dunes for access. The dunes also have grass on them, for laying out wet gear.

Rulez: Surfzone to the east part of the beach.
