Leeward Beach spot

Leeward Beach kitesurf spot

Turks & Caicos Islands · Caicos Islands

Spot currently openBeginner level 21.81 | -72.16

Overview

Close to Grace Bay with all its hotels. Here, an off-road track leads you to a beach where you'll be alone...
 In front of the well-known bay, and facing the reef with a nice stretch of water without dangerous coral between the beach and the reef which is located at 0.7NM or approx. 1.3KM. So plenty of space to play.

In front of the large hotels, further north, a reform wave on a deep sandbank (>2m) allows for play even for foilers.

With north wind, there is potentially a shore break to manage...

Fine sand beach, and wide enough at this specific spot to do a beach launch on your own.

For those who know, it feels like Beauduc (FR), but just 2km from the Croisette... ;-)

Parking

On the sides of the track, trying to position yourself so that you don't get blocked by someone else. We've always been alone there anyway...

 

Hazards

There is considerable motorboat traffic along the beach, but it's reasonable.
