Hazards
Kitesurfers should be careful of a rocky formation located on the west side, near the path leading to the Trafalgar lighthouse. Beginners should particularly avoid this area to prevent injuries. Pro kitesurfers must also remain vigilant when jumping with Levante wind, to avoid landing on the rocks. Serious accidents have already occurred, some with severe consequences. To stay safe, it is recommended to navigate on the east side, away from the rocky formations.
