The shallow white sandy beach extends out into the sea, giving waist deep water across the 2-½ km bay, perfect for learning. Instructors take a maximum of 4 pupils 3-400m offshore before launching kites, well away from the beach and other users, in a ‘safe as it gets’ environment. 
And thanks to the fringing reef, the sailing area is nice and flat for the lower tide with a little more bump to jump at high tides when more water can spill over the reef.
For the more experienced, there are waves on the reef and 2 deep-water inlets where the waves build but don’t break, providing deep water and ramps for jumping. The water is crystal clear and the views are stunning!
