Pines and Palms is a kitesurfing spot located in the Upper Keys near Islamorada, on the ocean (Atlantic) side. Named after the Pines and Palms resort, the spot offers direct Atlantic access from a palm-lined beach. The easterly trade winds blow side-shore along the coast, providing moderate chop conditions. It's a quieter spot than the main Islamorada access points, ideal for sessions without the crowds. The setting is typically tropical with coconut palms and turquoise water.
Open all year round
Intermediate
The water body faces the Atlantic with a mixed sand and coral bottom. In trade winds, light to moderate chop forms. Depth increases gradually from shore. The water is warm and clear year-round. In southeast winds, small waves can come in. The spot offers good riding space parallel to the coast.
Coral bottom present — watch for shallow reef areas. Tidal currents along the coast can cause drift. In northerly winds, conditions are offshore — do not ride. Verify access from the resort or nearby public access points. Sun protection is essential.
