Tobago Cays is an archipelago of five small uninhabited islands in the Grenadines, protected as a marine park. This exceptional kitesurf spot offers a lagoon protected by the Horseshoe Reef, with crystal-clear and shallow waters ideal for sailing. Easterly trade winds guarantee consistent wind. The inner lagoon is suitable for intermediate riders, while the area outside the reef is reserved for experts. It is one of the most beautiful kitesurf spots in the Caribbean. Access is by boat only.
