There is a lawn providing enough space to pump up your kite. The small gravel beach can be used for launching. There are many obstacles downwind the launch area, so be careful. The wind is not gusty, so it looks worse than it is. You should be experienced enough to go upwind otherwise you will end up in the bay west to the beach with a long walk back. There is no path on the beach.
