Overview

Mosquito Point is a spot in Nova Scotia's interior, in the Truro/Cobequid area. At an altitude of 23 m, this spot is likely on an inland lake or estuary. The Cobequid region, in central Nova Scotia, offers a landscape of wooded hills. The spot benefits from the funneling effect of surrounding valleys to concentrate wind. Less frequented by kitesurfers than the Atlantic coast.
