Bathtub Beach kitesurf and wingfoil spot
United States · Florida
Overview
Bathtub Beach is a unique beach in Stuart (Hutchinson Island), famous for its natural sandstone reef that forms a protected "bathtub" at low tide. This Bathtub Reef creates a shallow and calm water zone behind it, offering unique conditions. At high tide and with sustained wind, the spot becomes more interesting for kitesurfing with waves over the reef.
