During the summer setup and launch/land kites only beyond the small river (Riozinho) to avoid crowd of people, other times no restrictions. There is an air compressor to setup kite freely, parking place (free of charge during winter and end of fall), and during spring/summer a restaurant is available.
Excellent nightlife, lots of bars, nightclubs, restaurants. Actually known as one of the best nightlife in Brazil, so far.
