The water is really shallow for a long way out and the waves are small so it is ok for beginners to try kiting in the waves there. During low tide the beach is really good for landkiting.

The beach is huge! However if there are a lot of people on the beach you should not launch your kite. The sand is really soft further away from the water. Down near the water the sand is really hard packed. On the windier days less people go out onto the beach and it gets perfect for kiting.
