The beach is pretty nice with yellow sand, though that sand can hurt in the summer since it gets very hot. There is usually some trash on the beach (wrappers, plastic cups, picnic trash, etc.). There is tons of space to launch safely or keep your kite on the beach. There is a rock groyne that is downwind when the wind is a northwesterly.
